Title

Gut microbiota-derived inflammation-related serum metabolites as potential biomarkers for major depressive disorder

Overall design

In this study, the combined application of serum metabolomics and fecal microbial communities was used to identify gut microbiota-derived inflammation-related serum metabolites as potential biomarkers for major depressive disorder (MDD). Both serum samples and fecal samples were collected from MDD patients (MDD group, n =60) and healthy controls (control group, n =60). The liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS) was used to detect the metabolites in serum samples, and the 16S rRNA gene sequencing was used to analyze the gut microbiota compositions in fecal samples.
