Title

Variation in thyroid-stimulating hormone and cognitive disorders in unmedicated middle-aged patients with major depressive disorder: a proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy study

Overall design

The aim of this study was to investigate possible changes in prefrontal cortex and cerebellar biochemical metabolism in middle-aged patients with major depressive disorder (MDD). N-acetyl aspartate/creatine (Cr) and choline/Cr ratios in the prefrontal cortex and cerebellum were obtained via proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy from 30 first-episode, untreated middle-aged patients with MDD (MDD group) and 30 well-matched healthy controls (control group).
