Polymorphic variations in the serotonin transporter gene (5-HTT) moderate depressogenic effects of tryptophan depletion. After childbirth there is a sharp reduction brain availability, thus polymorphic 5-HTT may play similar role post-partum period.To study mood changes after delivery.One thousand, eight hundred and four depression-free Spanish women were studied post-partum.

Bipolar DSM-IV outpatients, having had two or more episodes last year, but currently being remission, were randomly assigned on 1:1 ratio (n=26) placebo (n=29) adjuncts ongoing with The primary variable was length...
Catechol O-methyltransferase (COMT) is an enzyme that inactivates catecholamines. Two common COMT alleles determine high and low activity of the enzyme. Previous studies using biochemical methods found lower in patients with major depression bipolar disorder comparison control values, suggesting a dysfunction catecholamine metabolism may be related to etiology depression.The authors studied two recently described DNA polymorphisms at gene (a silent C256G mutation structural mutation,...
