Association of the Mediterranean dietary pattern with the incidence of depression: the Seguimiento Universidad de Navarra/University of Navarra follow-up (SUN) cohort. (2009, background): “Moreover, BDNF levels have been reported to be reduced in patients with depression, and antidepressants seem to upregulate BDNF and other neurotrophic and growth factors.(51) Therefore, one of the potential mechanisms that could relate adherence to the MDP with lower depression risk might be hypothe”
Interaction between BDNF and Serotonin: Role in Mood Disorders (2008, background): “In studies extended to humans, it has been shown that expression of BDNF is increased in patients receiving antidepressant mediation at the time of suicidal death (Chen et al, 2001b; Dwivedi et al, 2003; Karege et al, 2005).”

Linking Molecules to Mood: New Insight Into the Biology of Depression (2010, neutral): “Postmortem studies designed to capture the neuropathology of depression have largely focused on cortical and hippocampal regions, which show a number of subtle atrophic changes such as reduced neuronal size, decreased glial cell number, local reductions in dendrite densities and trophic factors (5-7”
