Serum and plasma brain-derived neurotrophic factor and response in a randomized controlled trial of riluzole for treatment resistant depression.
In this paper, the authors report serum brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and plasma BDNF levels from a randomized controlled, adjunctive, sequential parallel comparison design trial of riluzole in major depressive disorder. The investigators noted that preliminary evidence suggested that lower baseline BDNF may be associated with better clinical response to riluzole.
