[HTML][HTML] Looking at lithium: molecular moods and complex behaviour
JM Beaulieu, MG Caron - Molecular interventions, 2008 - triggered.stanford.clockss.org
Lithium and other mood-stabilizing drugs are used for the management of bipolar mood
disorders and, to a lesser extent, for augmentation of other psychoactive drugs. Lithium also
has neuroprotective properties that may be useful for treatment of neurodegenerative
diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Over the years,
lithium has been shown to inhibit inositol monophosphatases and glycogen synthase kinase
3, but the relevance of such enzyme inhibition to the therapeutic effects of lithium has …
