BGLAP and major depressive disorder: The literature search yielded only a single prospective study exploring osteocalcin changes during the treatment of depression by Aydin et al., in which osteocalcin increased during the first 3 months of treatment with escitalopram in 47 women with the first episode of major depressive disorder; interestingly, before treatment, osteocalcin was significantly positively correlated with depression severity (22).
