Article Synopsis
- Researchers explored how cerebral mitochondrial and hemodynamic issues might affect patients with Bipolar Disorder (BD) by assessing oxygen levels in the brain using MRI and Methylene Blue (MB) as a treatment.*
-
- In an experiment with 15 BD patients and 15 healthy controls, participants underwent MRI scans after receiving either MB or a placebo, revealing significant decreases in brain oxygen metabolism in BD patients compared to controls.*
-
- Findings suggest that BD patients demonstrate a unique neurometabolic response to MB, indicating their increased vulnerability to metabolic stress and potentially opening doors for new therapeutic approaches.*
