Title

Maternal metabolites indicative of mental health status during pregnancy

Overall design

The aim of this study was to examine whether maternal serum metabolite signatures could distinguish between healthy controls and individuals with symptoms of depression and anxiety. Mental health was assessed using the Edinburgh Perinatal Depression Scale (EPDS). Participants were stratified into two categories: unlikely to have depression (EPDS <13; control group; n = 65), and probable depression (EPDS >= 13; depression group; n = 34). Serum samples, collected from 28-32 weeks of gestation, were evaluated by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.
