Abstract
OBJECTIVE
To search for possible connections between the anti-inflammatory activity of monocytes (PAM) and the activity of glutathione metabolic enzymes: glutathione reductase (GR) and glutathione-S-transferase (GT) in patients with depressive states (DS) within various mental pathologies, as well as between the studied biological parameters and clinical condition of patients.
MATERIAL AND METHODS
Sixty-one women, aged 18-56 years, with DC were examined before and after treatment. Symptom severity was assessed using the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) and the Hamilton Depressive Symptom Rating Scale (HDRS-21). The control group included 23 women of the corresponding age without mental pathology. Biological parameters were assessed in the peripheral blood of patients and healthy people.
RESULTS
Patients with a high level of PAM compared to the control (p<0.001) (subgroup 1, n=31) and with a low (at the control level) level (subgroup 2, n=30) were identified. In the subgroup 1, the values of GR and GT were significantly lower than in patients of subgroup 2 (p<0.05 and p<0.01, respectively). Negative correlations between the level of PAM before treatment and GR before and after treatment were revealed in patients who responded to treatment (r=-0.67; p=0.0041; r=-0.76; p=0.0001).
CONCLUSION
The results may indicate the inverse relationship between the level of PAM and the activity of GR and GT, which are involved in the pathogenesis of DC, and can also serve as criteria for assessing the response of patients to treatment.
