摘要:"BackgroundChildren and adolescents are at a high risk of major depressive disorder (MDD) with known sex differences in epidemiology. However, there are currently no objective laboratory-based sex-specific biomarkers available to support the diagnoses of male and female patients with MDD. MethodsHere, a male set of 42 cases and 27 healthy controls (HCs) and a female set of 42 cases and 22 HCs were recruited. This study investigated the sex differences of plasma metabolite biomarkers in young patients with MDD by the application of ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography equipped with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry. ResultsThe metabolic profiles showed clear separations in both male and female sets. In total, this study identified 57 male-related and 53 female-related differential metabolites. Compared with HCs, both male and female subjects with MDD displayed four significantly altered pathways. Notably, biliverdin was selected as an independent diagnostic male-specific biomarker with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.966, and phosphatidylcholine (10:0/14:1) was selected as a female-specific biomarker, achieving an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.957. ConclusionThis metabolomics study may aid in the development of a plasma-based test for the diagnosis of male and female children and adolescents with MDD, as well as give new insight into the pathophysiology of sex differences in children and adolescents with MDD."
