The analysis of the US National Health and Food Research has shown that people with depression have a higher ratio of C-reactive protein and albumin than those who do not suffer from this disorder. The work has been published in the journal Affective Disorders (JAD).
The C-Reactive Protein is a mine produced by the liver or tissue damage. Albumin is the most popular protein in the blood plasma that is responsible for the transportation of liquid balance and transporting materials. The C-Reactive Protein and Albumin ratio reflects both sharp inflammation and the general condition of the organism.
13,159 people took part in the study, the average age of which was 49, of which 8% of which met the depression standards in accordance with the PHQ-9 questionnaire. This group had significantly higher average car values, and this connection has even been maintained by people with metabolic diseases.
"Our results have shown that the high ratio of C-jet protein and Albumin is related to depression. However, given the complexity of the mechanisms, large-scale perspective studies are needed to confirm this connection, "the authors said.
Scientists stressed that it is not yet possible to decide what the growth of Car, the development of depression, is still due to the data received. However, this figure can be considered potential biomasses of this mental disorder.
