Among these entities, increased PPARD could exert a major positive influence on MDD by upregulation of one MDD inhibitors (tetrahydrobiopterin) and downregulation of 6 MDD promoters, including two cytokine genes (IL6 and TNF), two small molecules (ROS and glutamate), and the two functional classes (cytokine and inflammatory cytokine). This evidence concerns the gene PPARD and major depressive disorder.
