palmitic acid and Bipolar Disorder

palmitic acid has been researched along with Bipolar Disorder in 3 studies

Palmitic Acid: A common saturated fatty acid found in fats and waxes including olive oil, palm oil, and body lipids.
hexadecanoic acid : A straight-chain, sixteen-carbon, saturated long-chain fatty acid.

Bipolar Disorder: A major affective disorder marked by severe mood swings (manic or major depressive episodes) and a tendency to remission and recurrence.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Lithium and certain anticonvulsants, including carbamazepine and valproic acid, are effective antimanic drugs for treating bipolar disorder, but their mechanisms of action remain uncertain."8.81Do lithium and anticonvulsants target the brain arachidonic acid cascade in bipolar disorder? ( Bosetti, F; Rapoport, SI, 2002)
"Several drugs used to treat bipolar disorder (lithium and carbamazepine), when administered chronically to rats, reduce the turnover of arachidonic acid, but not docosahexaenoic acid, in brain phospholipids by decreasing the activity of an arachidonic acid-selective phospholipase A(2)."7.73Valproic acid selectively inhibits conversion of arachidonic acid to arachidonoyl-CoA by brain microsomal long-chain fatty acyl-CoA synthetases: relevance to bipolar disorder. ( Bazinet, RP; Rapoport, SI; Rosenberger, TA; Weis, MT, 2006)
