ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:

Adverse childhood experiences (ACE) elevate the risk of both major depressive disorder (MDD) and metabolic diseases. The underlying pathophysiology might include alterations of adipokine levels as a consequence of ACE. In this study, we used a full-factorial design to investigate the levels of select adipokines in women with ACE-only (n = 23), MDD-only (n = 27), ACE+MDD (n = 25) and healthy controls (HC, n = 29) to identify metabolic makers associated with vulnerability and resilience of developing MDD after ACE exposure.

METHODS:

Serum levels of adiponectin, leptin, adiponectin-to-leptin (A/L) ratio, and retinol binding protein 4 (RBP4) were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).

RESULTS:

Adiponectin levels did not differ between groups. Individuals with vs. without MDD showed higher leptin serum concentrations. As predicted, A/L ratio indicated lower values in individuals with vs. without ACE. RBP4 showed a more nuanced pattern with reduced levels in the ACE-only and MDD-only groups compared to HC. Furthermore, the ACE-only group showed lower RBP4 concentrations compared to ACE+MDD. These results were not accounted by BMI or medication status.

CONCLUSION:

Our results do not support the utility of adiponectin and leptin as predictors of vulnerability or resilience of developing MDD after ACE. In contrast, RBP4 might play a role in resilience towards the development of MDD following ACE. Further research on this more recently discovered adipokine seems warranted.
