Intestinal metabolites predict treatment resistance of patients with depression and anxiety

ConclusionFecal N- ε-acetyllysine levels before treatment may be a predictive biomarker of treatment-refractory depression and anxiety.Odoribacter may play a role in the homeostasis of intestinal L-lysine levels. More attention should be paid to the importance of L-lysine metabolism in those with depression and anxiety.
