Cross-sectional relationship between kynurenine pathway metabolites and cognitive function in major depressive disorder

Cognitive impairment is common among patients with major depressive disorder (MDD), but its pathological mechanism is complex and not fully understood. Evidence suggests that the kynurenine (KYN) pathway may be implicated in the pathophysiology of depression, but few studies have explored the association between the KYN pathway and cognitive impairment in MDD. Our aim was to examine the relationship between cognitive impairment and KYN pathway...
