Effects of vitamin E depletion/repletion on biomarkers of oxidative stress in healthy aging.

abstract：:Based on the relation found to exist between low CSF 5-HIAA and suicide attempt, in particular violent suicide attempt, both in depressed and in so-called nondepressed suicide attempters, the conclusion was drawn that decreased central 5-HT metabolism is related to (auto)aggression, rather than to depression. We chall...
