BDNF plasma levels and genotype in depression and the response to electroconvulsive therapy.

Brain stimulation - 1 Jan 2000

Ryan Karen M, Dunne Ross, McLoughlin Declan M

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) has been implicated in the pathophysiology of depression and the antidepressant response. Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is reported to increase BDNF levels in blood, though only a small number of studies have been conducted to date. OBJECTIVE: Our objectives were to: 1) compare plasma BDNF levels in medicated patients with depression and controls; 2) assess...
