Thyroid iodine release measured by the double isotope method of Nicoloff was studied in patients with manic-depressive illness before, during and after treatment with lithium carbonate. The urinary lZSI/ZalI isotope ratio was measured following administration of Nal~SI and z3~I-thyroxine. In three o
The phosphoinositide (PI) cycle second messenger system mediates the effect of muscarinic receptor binding. Inositol, which is an essential substrate for phosphoinositide synthesis penetrates the blood-brain barrier poorly, and is vulnerable to depletion. Lithium uncompetitively inhibits inositol-1
The cognitive side-effects of lithium, carbamazepine (CBZ) and combination CBZ and lithium were compared in a crossover double-blind study. The CBZ range was 17-26 Mmol/l and the lithium range 04-1.10 mmol/1. Twelve subjects (seven females, five males), five with bipolar and seven with unipolar affe
