Title | Identification and validation of urinary metabolite biomarkers for major depressive disorder |
Overall design | In this study, a nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy-based metabonomic approach was employed to profile urine samples from first-episode drug-naive depressed subjects (MDD group, n = 82) and healthy controls (control group, n = 82) as the training set in order to identify urinary metabolite biomarkers for MDD. Then, 44 unselected depressed subjects and 52 healthy controls were used as the test set to independently validate the diagnostic generalizability of these biomarkers. |
