The association of plasma glutamate with food addiction in individuals with major depressive disorder
This study provides novel evidence that FA symptoms are associated with elevated peripheral glutamate, reinforcing emerging links between glutamate, disordered eating, and depression. These findings underscore the need for further research into glutamatergic mechanisms underlying comorbid MDD and FA to inform more targeted and effective treatment approaches.
