Prospective study on the association between serum amino acid profiles and depressive symptoms among the Japanese working population.
<h4>Objective</h4>Accumulating evidence suggests that amino acids, particularly tryptophan and glutamate, play an important role in the pathology of depression, but prospective epidemiologic data on this issue is scarce. We examined the association between circulating amino acids and the...
