Overweight and obesity affect treatment response in major depressionStefan Kloiber
Max Planck Institute of Psychiatry, Munich, Germany
Biol Psychiatry 62:321-6. 2007..To elucidate the impact of weight on the course of depression beyond comorbidity, we investigated psychopathology, attention, neuroendocrinology, weight change, and treatment response in MDD patients, depending on their weight...
Polymorphisms in the FKBP5 gene region modulate recovery from psychosocial stress in healthy controlsMarcus Ising
Max Planck Institute of Psychiatry, Kraepelinstr 2 10, 80804 Munich, Germany
Eur J Neurosci 28:389-98. 2008..This reaction pattern suggests that subjects carrying these variants are at risk of displaying chronically elevated cortisol levels after repeated stress constituting a risk factor for stress-related diseases...
Combined dexamethasone/corticotropin releasing hormone test predicts treatment response in major depression - a potential biomarker?Marcus Ising
Max Planck Institute of Psychiatry, Munich, Germany
Biol Psychiatry 62:47-54. 2007..In the present study, we examined whether change in HPA system function during the first weeks of hospitalization predicts response to antidepressant treatment in major depression and thus constitutes a potential biomarker...

Max Planck Institute of Psychiatry, Munich, Germany
Am J Med Genet B Neuropsychiatr Genet 150:104-14. 2009..These results suggest that the ACE gene is involved in the development of coping strategies...

Max Planck Institute of Psychiatry, Munich, Germany
Biol Psychiatry 62:400-6. 2007..This study examines the associations between HPA system regulation, cognitive functioning, and psychopathology in depressed inpatients on admission and at discharge...
Pharmacogenomics of antidepressant drugsSonja Horstmann
Max Planck Institute of Psychiatry, Munich, Germany
Pharmacol Ther 124:57-73. 2009..Illustrated by examples from current candidate gene- and whole genome association studies, this manuscript critically discusses aspects of pharmacogenetic studies in antidepressant response related to study design and clinical relevance...
