Objective: It is known that impaired energy metabolism contributes to the neuropathology of bipolar disorder (BD). This study aimed to compare the levels of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), adropin, and desnutrin, which have many metabolic functions besides the regulation of energy metabolism, between patients with BD and healthy controls and to investigate the related factors.
Methods: In the study group, 73 age- and sex-matched participants were included.
