S100B, a glia derived protein, is linked to depression and has been suggested as a biomarker for depression outcomes in several populations. However, to date there is no data about ghrelin and S100B levels depression in patients with T2DM concerning co- occurring depression. Objective: We hypothesized that ghrelin levels are higher in patients with T2DM and recently diagnosed, drug-free depressive symptoms compared to those without depression and that S100B serum levels are increased in patients with T2DM and recently diagnosed depression and as a result S100B could be used as a biomarker for the diagnosis of depression in T2DM. Methods: Overall 52 patients (62 ± 12 years, female 66, 7%) with no history of depression deriving from the Diabetes ou ...
