Depression and type 2 diabetes: Inflammatory mechanisms of a psychoneuroendocrine co-morbidity

Stuart, Michael J., Baune, Bernhard T.·2012·Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews

Abstract

Unipolar depression and diabetes mellitus each account for a significant proportion of the global burden of disease. Epidemiological literature suggests a bi-directional relationship between these two common disorders, and evidence from the molecular sciences supports a role for inflammation in the pathogenesis and pathophysiology of each disorder individually. Recent advances in understanding the neurobiology of depression have implicated dysfunction of the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis, neurotrophins, and inflammatory mediators in the development of this disorder. Similarly, dysregulated facets of both the innate and adaptive immune system have been implicated in the onset of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. This review draws upon an emerging body of epidemiological and mechanistic evidence to support the hypothesis that shared inflammatory mechanisms may represent a key biological link in this co-morbidity. Given the shared mechanisms of this co-morbidity, these patients may be excellent candidates for novel immune targeted pharmacotherapy.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Comorbid metabolic disturbances aggravate the burden of depressive illness, in part by sharing common risk factors and pathophysiological pathways, since impaired insulin signaling and insulin resistance play an important role in the pathogenesis of major depressive disorder.

    “Comorbid metabolic disturbances aggravate the burden of depressive illness, in part by sharing common risk factors and pathophysiological pathways, since impaired insulin signaling and insulin resistance have been documented to play an important role in the pathogenesis of MDD [109].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
