Abstract:
An objective biomarker is capable of evaluating the severity of depression and is clinically useful. The biomarker is used for evaluating the severity of depression, and includes at least one compound selected from the group made of 4-aminobutyric acid (γ (gamma)-aminobutyric acid: GABA), arginine, argininosuccinate, isoleucine, indole carboxaldehyde, potassium indoleacetate, carnitine, acetylcarnitine, ornithine, xanthurenate, kynurenate, kynurenine, citrate, creatine, creatinine, glutamine, dimethylglycine, serotonin, taurine, trimethyloxamine (TMAO), tryptophan, norvaline, 3-hydroxybutyrate, phenylalanine, proline, betaine, and lysine.

Claim (Index 31):
A program for evaluating the severity of depression, which causes a computer to execute:\n an acquisition step of acquiring concentrations of the biomarkers containing 3-hydroxybutyrate in blood collected from a subject to be tested; a discriminant value calculation step of calculating a discriminant value based on a blood concentration of at least one biomarker of the biomarkers acquired in the acquisition step and the multivariate discriminant set in advance which has the blood concentration of the biomarker as a variable; an evaluation step of evaluating the severity of depression of the subject to be tested based on the discriminant value calculated in the discriminant value calculation step; and an output step of outputting the obtained evaluation results.
