Sex differences in depressive and socioemotional responses to an inflammatory challenge: Implications for sex differences in depression. Neuropsychopharmacology. 2015. doi: 10.1038/npp.2015.17 . In this key report of a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, laboratory study of endotoxin responses, women appeared more vulnerable to the behavioral effects of inflammation compared to men. In response to endotoxin, women reported more depressive symptoms and social disconnection than men. Among women, those with greater inflammatory responses also had larger increases in social disconnection, one pathway that can help explain sex differences in depression.

This thoughtful review focuses on 'how' and 'for whom' depression and inflammation are linked, and discusses how this information may be used in clinical practice to enhance recovery and prevent recurrence.

What this badge says. CiteStamped means the CHECKABLE references of this
work were clean at the dated check: each resolved to a known work in a public registry, and none
carried a retraction notice at that time. It says nothing about the quality, findings,
or importance of the work itself, and nothing about references deposited without a DOI.
