Plasma level of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in patients with postpartum depression.

Abstract:

:Postpartum depression occurs in 10-15% of mothers. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a nerve growth factor that plays a role in neuroplasticity. We hypothesized that the concentration of BDNF is related to reproduction and childbirth, and that women with postpartum depression show alteration in BDNF level. A total of 104 pregnant women was selected as subjects, and 60 non-pregnant women were selected as normal controls. Symptoms of depression were evaluated in the pregnant study subjects using the diagnostic criteria outlined in the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS). The pregnant subjects were divided into three groups of perinatal non-depressed controls (n = 61), postpartum depression-recovery (n = 18), and postpartum depression (n = 25). The plasma concentration of BDNF was higher in the pregnant group than in non-pregnant controls and lower in the postpartum depression group at 6 weeks after delivery than in the perinatal non-depressed group. In the postpartum depression-recovery group, the BDNF concentration increased at 6 weeks after delivery compared to that at 24 weeks of gestation. This study found significant changes in plasma BDNF concentration in depressed pregnant women.
