Title

Polyunsaturated fatty acids metabolism, purine metabolism and inosine as potential independent diagnostic biomarkers for major depressive disorder in children and adolescents

Overall design

The aim of this study was to identify biomarkers in plasma samples from depressed children and adolescents and healthy controls based on a non-targeted metabolomics approach. An ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography equipped with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry-based (UPLC-Q-TOF/MS) non-targeted metabolomics approach was used to compare the plasma metabolic profiles among the drug-naive depressed subjects (drug-naive MDD group, n = 52), drug-treatment depressed subjects (drug-treatment MDD group, n = 32) and matched healthy controls (control group, n = 50) in order to identify biomarkers for depression in children and adolescents.
