摘要:The intracellular choline concentration in erythrocytes of manic patients who never had lithium therapy was 3 times the value for normal human subjects. Lithium therapy increased this value to 11 times normal, and the increase began within the first 2 days of lithium therapy. Plasma choline concentration was normal in untreated manic patients and did not change during lithium therapy.
