AC, anterior cingulate cortex; HC, healthy controls; MDD, major depressive disorder; SZ, schizophrenia; Glu, glutamate; Gln, glutamine; Gly, glycine; Gsh, glutathione; Tau, taurine; Asp, aspartate; Myo, myo-inositol; Scy, scyllo-inositol; Asc, ascorbate; TCH, total choline; TCR, total creatine; TNAA, total NAA. Bolded values indicate statistical significance (alpha<0.05/2, one-tailed, for Myo; alpha<0.05/3, two-tailed, for Scy).
