HC, healthy controls; MDD, major depressive disorder; 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 signficance (alpha<0.05/3, one-tailed, for Gln; alpha<0.05/2, two-tailed, for Gly; alpha<0.05/2, one-tailed, for Myo).
