Elevated Neuroimmune Biomarkers in Sweat Patches and Plasma of Premenopausal Women with Major Depressive Disorder in Remission : The POWER Study

Background Major depressive disorder (MDD) is inconsistently associated with elevations in pro-inflammatory cytokines and neuropeptides. We used a skin sweat patch, recently validated in healthy controls, and recycling immunoaffinity chromatography (RIC), to measure neuroimmune biomarkers in patients with MDD mostly in remission.
