Major depressive disorder (MDD) is associated with complex metabolic alterations. In this study, we applied a multiplatform metabolomics approach (GC-MS and LC-MS) to characterize the plasma extracellular vesicle (EV) metabolome in healthy controls (N = 50), responsive MDD patients (N = 60), and patients with treatment-resistant depression (TRD; N = 65). Longitudinal analyses were performed...
