Preliminary comparison of plasma notch-associated microRNA-34b and-34c levels in drug naive, first episode depressed patients and healthy controls

摘要

Background: Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a common debilitating disease of unknown etiology. The expression of miRNA is closely related to depression and efficacy of antidepressant therapy. However, whether Notch-associated miRNAs expressions involved in first-episode of MDD are still unknown.
