Analyses examined changes in depressive symptoms in relation to changes in biomarkers over time.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>There were significant reductions in clinical global impression of depression severity [χ<i><sup>2</sup></i>(4) = 10.97, <i>p</i> = 0.03, <i>W</i> = 0.46] and overall illness severity [χ<i><sup>2</sup></i>(4) = 10.25, <i>p</i> = 0.04, <i>W</i> = 0.43] from baseline to 8 weeks. The most common side effects were related to the central nervous system and gastrointestinal system. From baseline to 4 weeks, greater reduction in CDRS-R scores was associated with greater reduction in 8-ISO (<i>r</i> = 0.89, <i>p</i> = 0.02), and a greater reduction in DRS scores was associated with a greater reduction in LPO (<i>r</i> = 0.82, <i>p</i> = 0.05).</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>This trial provides preliminary evidence that the antidepressant effects of curcumin may be associated with its antioxidative properties. However, larger controlled trials are needed to evaluate the efficacy of curcumin for bipolar depression, and to examine oxidative stress markers as predictors and/or mediators of antidepressant effects.</p>","PeriodicalId":15277,"journal":{"name":"Journal of child and adolescent psychopharmacology","volume":"36 3","pages":"144-154"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147772292","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
