BACKGROUND: Recent reports have suggested a pathophysiological role for brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in major depression and suicide. We evaluate BDNF mRNA in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of patients with major depression who had or had not recently attempted suicide.METHOD

OBJECTIVE: Our previous work has shown that α-adrenoreceptor (α-AR)-coupled signaling modulates T lymphocyte function. Here, we investigate the expression of α?- and α?-ARs in natural killer (NK) cells and roles of the two subtypes of α-ARs and their coupled signals in modulation of NK cell
