Oxidative stress predicts depressive symptom changes with omega-3
fatty acid treatment in coronary artery disease patients
Background: Antidepressant efficacy of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (n-3 PUFA) treatment in coronary artery disease (CAD) patients remains unpredictable. N-3 PUFA can mitigate oxidative stress, which is common in CAD and may contribute to depressive symptoms. This study investigated whether greater pre-treatment ...
Optimal Serum Selenium Concentrations Are Associated with Lower Depressive Symptoms and Negative Mood among Young Adults
Background: There is evidence that low, and possibly high, selenium status is associated with depressed mood. More evidence is needed to determine whether this pattern occurs in young adults with a wide range of serum concentrations of selenium.
Objective: The aim of this study was to determine if serum selenium concen...
Omega-3 Fatty Acids, Depressive Symptoms, and Cognitive
Performance in Patients With Coronary Artery Disease
Abstract: This trial investigated the efficacy of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (n-3 PUFA) treatment for improving depressive symptoms and cognitive performance in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) participating in cardiac rehabilitation. Patients with CAD aged 45 to 80 years were randomized to receive either 1.9-g/d ...
Long Chain Omega-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acid Supplementation Alleviates Doxorubicin-Induced Depressive-Like Behaviors and Neurotoxicity
in Rats: Involvement of Oxidative Stress and Neuroinflammation
Abstract: Doxorubicin (DOX) is a chemotherapeutic agent widely used in human malignancies. Its long-term use can cause neurobiological side-effects associated with depression. Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (!-3 PUFAs), the essential ...
High glycemic index diet as a risk factor for depression: analyses from
the Women’s Health Initiative
Background: The consumption of sweetened beverages, refined foods, and pastries has been shown to be associated with an increased
risk of depression in longitudinal studies. However, any influence that refined carbohydrates has on mood could be commensurate
with their proportion in the overall diet; studies are therefore needed that ...
Healthy and Unhealthy Dietary Patterns Are Related to Depression: A Case-Control Study
ObjectiveaaMajor depressive disorder is the leading cause of disability around the world. The relationship between depression and dietary patterns has been reported in a few studies but with controversial results. This study aimed to investigate this relationship in an Iranian population.
MethodsaaIn our study, 330 depressed patients (cases) and healthy ...
Effect of Probiotics on Depression: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials
Abstract: It has been reported that gut probiotics play a major role in the bidirectional communication between the gut and the brain. Probiotics may be essential to people with depression, which remains a global health challenge, as depression is a metabolic brain disorder. However, the efficacy of probiotics for depression is ...
Dietary flavonoid intake and risk of incident depression in midlife and older women
ABSTRACT
Background: The impact of dietary flavonoid intakes on risk of depression is unclear.
Objective: We prospectively examined associations between estimated habitual intakes of dietary flavonoids and depression risk.
Design: We followed 82,643 women without a previous history of depression at baseline from the Nurses’ Health Study [(NHS) aged
...
