The Relationship between the Number of Manic Episodes and Oxidative Stress Indicators in Bipolar Disorder.

Conclusion: Significant changes in oxidative stress indicators were observed in this study, confirming previous studies. Increased levels of oxidants were shown with increased disease severity rather than with the number of manic episodes. Systematic studies, including of each period of the disorder, are needed for using the findings indicating deterioration of oxidative parameters. PMID: 29674601 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
