Abstract

Aim: Changes in inflammatory parameters such as cytokines, stress hormones and C reactive protein that occur in depression, are important in understanding the pathophysiology of depression and developing new treatment approaches. The main purpose of this study was to determine the changes in inflammatory markers in patients with major depression, before and after antidepressant treatment, as well as to determine the effect of antidepressant treatment types on these changes.

Özet

Amaç: Depresyonda meydana gelen sitokinler, stres hormonları ve C reaktif protein gibi inflamatuvar parametrelerin değişimi, depresyonun patofizyolojisinin anlaşılması ve yeni tedavi yaklaşımlarının geliştirilmesi açısından önem taşımaktadır. Bu çalışmanın temel amacı, major depresyon hastalarında antidepresan tedavi öncesi ve sonrasında inflamatuvar belirteçlerde nasıl bir değişiklik olduğunu tespit etmek ve antidepresan tedavi türünün bu değişiklikler üzerindeki etkisini belirlemektir.
