Background: Metabolic abnormalities are common in individuals with bipolar disorder (BD) and are responsible for the high prevalence of diabetes and metabolic syndrome in this population. Several neurobiological systems related to energetic metabolism have been shown to be abnormal in BD. Recent theories postulated that the brain regulates its own nutrient supply. Hypothesis: metabolic ab…
Chronic stress is able to activate hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, leading to both increases and reduction in cortisol levels. Abnormalities in cortisol levels can produce brain damage, contributing with genesis and course of several diseases, including psychotic disorders. There is evidence of the association between HPA dysfunction and schizophrenia, but the role of abnormali…
Theoretical Background: The metabolomics is the newest platform "ohmic" applied in chemical and biochemical studies of organisms that enables detection of metabolic changes caused by the numerous intra- and extra-cellular factors. Although psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and crack addiction have been associated with metabolic changes, metabolomics studies in …
There is evidence that patients with bipolar disorder (BD) are undergoing a process of accelerated aging. The length of telomeres plays an important role in the process of natural aging. However, little is known about the progression of this system in the evolution of BD. Objective: To analyze the progression of telomere length over the course of the disease, relating the findings to the …
