          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.
