Depression and anxiety in patients with multiple sclerosis treated with interferon-beta or fingolimod : role of indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase and pro-inflammatory cytokines

Depression/anxiety (D/A) occurs in up to 50% of multiple sclerosis (MS) patients. Proinflammatory cytokines induce classical symptoms of depression. Activation of the inflammatory response also triggers production of indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO), which catabolizes tryptophan, the amino acid p...
