Adverse childhood experiences (ACE) elevate the risk of both major depressive disorder (MDD) and metabolic diseases. The underlying pathophysiology might include alterations of adipokine levels as a consequence of ACE. In this study, we used a full-factorial design to investigate the levels of select adipokines in women with ACE-only (n = 23), MDD-only (n = 27), ACE+MDD (n = 25) and healthy controls (HC, n = 29) to identify metabolic makers associated with vulnerability and resilience of developing MDD after ACE exposure.
