pilocarpine and Bipolar Disorder

pilocarpine has been researched along with Bipolar Disorder in 9 studies

Pilocarpine: A slowly hydrolyzed muscarinic agonist with no nicotinic effects. Pilocarpine is used as a miotic and in the treatment of glaucoma.
(+)-pilocarpine : The (+)-enantiomer of pilocarpine.

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

"Thus, the Li-pilocarpine seizure model may, despite its lack of face validity, be a biochemical marker for a model of mania treatment in animals."6.44Lithium-pilocarpine seizures as a model for lithium action in mania. ( Belmaker, RH; Bersudsky, Y, 2007)
"Pilocarpine was administered after 1 week of treatment, and behavior including seizures was assessed using rating scale."5.42Inositol-deficient food augments a behavioral effect of long-term lithium treatment mediated by inositol monophosphatase inhibition: an animal model with relevance for bipolar disorder. ( Agam, G; Belmaker, RH; Bersudsky, Y; Shtein, L, 2015)
"Behaviors of calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II alpha (α-CaMKII) heterozygous knock-out (KO) mice, which are a representative bipolar disorder/schizophrenia model displaying iDG, and pilocarpine-treated mice, which are a representative epilepsy model, were tested followed by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR)/immunohistochemistry for mRNA/protein expression associated with an iDG phenotype."3.79The immature dentate gyrus represents a shared phenotype of mouse models of epilepsy and psychiatric disease.
