Sex differences in sub-anesthetic ketamine’s antidepressant effects and abuse liability

This review (2018) examines gender-related differences related to antidepressant effects and abuse liability of ketamine given that women are twice as likely to develop depression and progress through the stages of addiction faster than men. Preclinical evidence suggests that female rats are indeed more sensitive to ketamine’s effects, but more clinical research is needed to verify these gender-related effects in humans.
