In depression, this pathology is linked to hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis dysfunction, showing ongoing (nocturnal) ACTH and cortisol secretion (as caused by HPA axis hyperactivity) to disturb the balance between omega-6 and omega-3 PUFA [71,72], which may in turn causes down-stream effects on prostaglandin-mediated pathways. The gene discussed is POMC; the disease is depressive symptom measurement.
