Rhythms and the pharmacology of lithium

Klemfuss, Harry·1992·Pharmacology & Therapeutics

Abstract

Lithium is the treatment of choice for bipolar affective disorder (manic-depression) and is useful in other recurrent affective and nonaffective illnesses. This review discusses lithium's actions on period, phase, amplitude and coupling of biological rhythms that may relate to its therapeutic effectiveness. Alternatively, lithium might interact with environmental light to influence circadian rhythms by an action on the retina. The mechanisms responsible for lithium's chronopharmacological actions are not known, but cellular cations, phosphoinositide or adenylate cyclase second messenger systems, hormones and neurotransmitters may all be involved.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Lithium and valproate have been repeatedly shown to alter the circadian period, leading to a long period in Drosophila, non-human primates, rodents, and humans.

    “Interestingly, both of these drugs have been repeatedly shown to alter the circadian period, leading to a long period in Drosophila, non-human primates, rodents and humans (Johnsson et al., 1983; Welsh and Moore-Ede, 1990; Klemfuss, 1992; Hafen and Wollnik, 1994; Dokucu et al., 2005).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
