lithium and valproate modulate disturbances in intracellular calcium homeostasis implicated in the pathophysiology of bipolar disorder, but the molecular mechanisms are not fully understood. two subtypes of transient receptor potential (trp) channel family, i.e. trpc3 and trpm2, are potential candidates involved in calcium signaling and implicated in the pathophysiology of bipolar disorder. thi...

one of the most important and serious disorders of gastrointestinal tract is acute pancreatitis which in severe form is associated with high mortality rate particularly in the presence of systemic inflammatory response and multiple organ failure. apoptosis linked to oxidative stress has been shown in the pancreas of the patients with acute pancreatitis. lithium, one of the most effective drugs ...

Lithium metal has shown great promise as an anode material for high-energy storage systems, owing to its high theoretical specific capacity and low negative electrochemical potential. Unfortunately, uncontrolled dendritic and mossy lithium growth, as well as electrolyte decomposition inherent in lithium metal-based batteries, cause safety issues and low Coulombic efficiency. Here we demonstrate...

background lithium is a drug for treatment of bipolar disorder by correcting mania and reducing depressive mood swings. objectives in this study, effects of lithium on volumetric parameters of cerebellum were investigated using stereological methods. materials and methods in this experimental study, 20 sexually mature wistar male rats were selected and divided in two groups randomly (n = 10). a...

We present infrared spectroscopy and imaging of AFGL 4106. The 2.4–5 μm ISO-SWS spectrum reveals the presence of a cool, luminous star (Teff ≈ 3750 K) in addition to an almost equally luminous F star (Teff ≈ 7250 K). The 5–195 μm SWS and LWS spectra are dominated by strong emission from circumstellar dust. We find that the dust consists of amorphous silicates, with a minor but significant contr...

A topological index is a numerical value that describes the entire structure of chemical compound’s molecular graph and aids in understanding its physical properties, reactivities, boiling activities. In theory, these indices are instrumental quantifying various properties compounds such as SiO4. The selection SiO4 this work an important aspect because structural flexibility, easy availability,...
