Title

Gut microbiome-linked metabolites in the pathobiology of major depression with or without anxiety-a role for bile acids

Overall design

The aim of this study was to examine whether bile acids at baseline were different in treatment-naive outpatients with major depressive disorder (MDD) who responded to treatment vs. those who did not respond to treatment after 12 weeks of treatment/therapy. Using targeted metabolomics, primary and secondary bile acids were profiled in the baseline serum samples of 208 untreated outpatients with MDD. Then the levels of these metabolites were compared between participants who responded to treatment (remitter group; n = 73) vs. those who did not respond to treatment (non-remitter group; N = 25) after 12 weeks of treatment/therapy.
