Plasma Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein and Neurofilament Light are Elevated in Bipolar Disorder: Evidence for Neuroprogression and Astrocytic Activation
2024-07-31
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <h4>Importance</h4> Recent methodological developments allow us to measure small amounts of brain-specific proteins in the blood, including neurofilament light chain (NfL), a marker of axonal pathology, and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), a marker of astrocytic activation. Given the evidence of potential astroglial pathology and neuronal dysfunction in bipolar disorder, these markers may...
