Serum levels of TSH, neurotransmitters, neurotrophic cytokines and apoptotic molecules were detected.Results: Serum TSH, 5-HT, NE, DA, BDNF and NGF levels of PSD group were significantly lower than those of PS group while Bax, FasL, Fas and Caspase-3 levels were significantly higher than those of PS group;5-HT, NE, DA, BDNF and NGF levels of PSD group of patients with low TSH were significantly lower than those of PSD group of patients with normal TSH while Bax, FasL, Fas and Caspase-3 levels were significantly higher than those of PSD group of patients with normal TSH.Conclusion:The decrease of serum TSH level in patients with PSD can affect neurotransmitters, neurotrophic state and nerve cell apoptosis.展开更多
