Plasma GDF15 level is elevated in psychosis and inversely correlated with severity

Abstract Accumulating evidence suggests that GDF15 is a biomarker for ageing and morbidity of many somatic disorders such as cancer and inflammatory disorders. Recently, elevated serum GDF15 level was proposed as a marker for mood disorder. However, psychosis severity was not investigated in relatio...
