Title

Serum endocannabinoid and mood changes after exercise in major depressive disorder

Overall design

The aim of this study was to compare mood state and endocannabinoid responses to moderate and preferred-intensity aerobic exercise in major depressive disorder (MDD). Women with MDD (n = 17) exercised in separate sessions for 20 min on a cycle ergometer at both prescribed moderate (MOD) or self-selected/preferred (PREF) in a within-subjects design. Blood was drawn before and within 10 min after exercise. Serum concentrations of endocannabinoid (anandamide, 2-arachidonoylglycerol) and related lipids (palmitoylethanolamine, oleoylethanolamine, 2-oleoylglycerol) were quantified using stable isotope-dilution, liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry. The profile of mood states and state-trait anxiety inventory (state only) were completed before, 10 min and 30 min post-exercise.
