NCT ID NCT01903655

Summary

This study aimed to find biological markers in blood cells that might indicate physical stress related to depression. Researchers examined 300 people with and without depression, measuring factors like telomere length (related to cellular aging) and oxidative stress levels. The goal was to better understand how depression affects the body physically and potentially identify markers to assess the condition's severity.
