    Description

    This study identified biological targets in major depressive disorder (MDD). Acetyl-l-carnitine (LAC), which is critical for hippocampal function and several behavioral domains, has rapid and enduring antidepressant like effects in LAC deficient rodents. As a result, this study examined LAC levels in humans. Following an initial phone screen, potential participants were evaluated in person to determine...
