Serum homocysteine levels and cognitive functioning in euthymic bipolar patients
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Studies have found elevated plasma homocysteine (Hcy) levels in bipolar disorder (BD). We investigated serum Hcy levels in euthymic BD patients, and its relationship with cognitive and psychosocial functioning.
METHODS: Sixty-five BD type I euthymic patients and 49 healthy controls were assessed using a neuropsychological test battery. Hcy levels were measured using an HPLC method with fluorescence detection.
