Lithium-induced Clock Gene Expression in Lymphoblastoid Cells of Bipolar Affective Patients
26 May 2015
Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Disturbances of circadian rhythms occur in all episodes of bipolar disorder (BD). Lithium, as gold-standard in the maintenance treatment of BD, is known to influence circadian processes. METHODS: In a pilot study lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCLs) were generated from 8 BD patients and 6 healthy controls. The LCLs were treated with lithiumchloride (LiCl) for 3 weeks. Cell cycles were then synchronized...
