Erythrocyte Lithium Transport in Bipolar Affective Disorders
Abstract
Erythrocyte lithium influx and efflux were investigated in vitro in patients with bipolar affective disorders and in age- and sex-matched healthy controls. To explore the components of lithium influx and efflux five selected inhibitors (ouabain, phloretin, p-chloromercury benzene sulfonate [PCMBS], 4,4'-diisothiocyano-2,2'-disulfonic acid stilbene, and lanthanium chloride) were employed. The mean values of lithium influx were similar in both …
