The gray mater (GM) bioenergentic metabolisms in
patients with bipolar disoder (BD) were investigated.
Tissue regression analysis of 31P MRSI data was
performed based on tissue contents that were obtained by
SPM5 segmentation of MDEFT images. The results showed
that dependence on age was significantly different in GM
between BD and healthy control groups for concentrations
of inorganic phosphate (p = 0.0032), phosphocreatine (p
= 0.0029), and adenosine triphosphate (p = 0.0176). This
implies that neuronal bioenergetic abnormality increases
in severity with duration of illness.
