✦ Synopsis


Sodium, potassium-activated adenosine triphosphatase (Na,K-ATPase) pump activity has been variously reported to be increased, decreased, or unchanged in bipolar patients. To explore this association we conducted a meta-analysis of the available literature. All papers containing data on erythrocyte Na,K-ATPase activity were reviewed independently by both authors. A meta-analysis of these data was accomplished by standard procedure. We found a significant mood-state-related decrease in Na,K-ATPase activity in both manic and bipolar depressed patients when compared to euthymic bipolar patients, but not when ill patients were compared to normal controls. The overall change can be characterized as small to moderate in magnitude.

The siphuncle of the chambered nautilus (Nautilus spp) can transport carneral liquid against osmotic pressure gradients, and is presumed to be able to transport against hydrostatic pressure gradients. It is hypothesized that the mechanism of such transport involves "local osmosis'' in which the siph
