Serum levels of carnitine in chronic fatigue syndrome: clinical correlates.

abstract：BACKGROUND:This study aimed to compare the effects of aerobic training (AT), strength training (ST) and low-intensity exercise in a control group (CG) as adjunct treatments to pharmacotherapy for major depressive disorder (MDD) in older persons. METHODS:Older persons clinically diagnosed with MDD (n = 27) and treated ...
