Serum nesfatin-1, ghrelin, and lipid levels in adolescents with first episode drug na ïve unipolar depression.

Conclusions: This is the first study to evaluate nesfatin-1 levels in adolescent depression, suggesting that nesfatin-1, ghrelin, total cholesterol, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL) levels can be used as biomarkers in child-adolescent MDD. However, it is evident that further studies with larger samples and post-treatment measurements are needed. PMID: 32496844 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
