The white mater (WM) bioenergentic and phospholipid metabolisms in adolescents with bipolar disoder were investigated. The approach of this study used tissue regression analysis of 31P MRSI data based on tissue contents that were obtained by SPM5 segmentation of MDEFT images. The results showed that, in addition to the gray matter (GM), WM illustrated abnormality both in bioenergentic and phospholipid metabolism in cerebrum, particularly in the frontal lobe. No differences between groups were found for phospholipids in GM for any regions. Altered phospholipid metabolism in frontal lobe WM suggests disruption of the anterior limbic network.
