Popis: Aim: The aim of the study is to investigate the relationship between depression and changes in 25-OH Vitamin D and Lipoprotein serum levels, which have been suggested to be associated with Central Nervous System neurotransmission and certain psychiatric disorders. Material and Methods: The study included a patient group consists of 40 depressive individuals who have applied to the Psychiatry outpatient clink of our hospital and have been first diagnosed with depression according to SCID-1 (Structured Clinical Interview for DSM IV Axis I Disorders) criteria and had no psychiatric or systemic disease that could affect the result, as well as a control group of 40 healthy individuals with similar demographic characteristics. In the collected serum samples. 25-OH vitamin D, LDL, HDL, VLDL, total cholesterol, and TG levels were measured enzymatically and spectrophotometrically: Apolipoprotein Al and Bl00 levels were measured nephelometrically, LDL and HDL subfractions were measured using the Upoprint System, and then the results were evaluated statistically. Results: Atherogenic LDL 3 and LDL 4 were significantly higher In the patient group (p=0.001 and p=0.0155, respectively). The mean LDL particle diameter (LDL Mean) was significantly lower in the patient group (13-0.0017). There was no significant difference between the patient and control groups in terms of Buoyant LDL, but Small Dense LDL levels were significantly higher in the patient group (p=0.008 and p
