About this trial
This study aims to investigate changes in the levels of biomarkers (IGF-1, FGF2, and EGF) involved in neuron development in patients diagnosed with major depression through the effects of breathing exercises and aerobic exercise, as well as to examine the levels of biomarkers (TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1) and oxidative stress (TAS, TOS, MDA, and F2-isoprostane) that are thought to play a role in the pathophysiology of depression.
