Abstract
Impaired hormonal regulation of appetite may contribute to higher cardiovascular risk in bipolar disorder (BD). We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies investigating peripheral blood levels of appetite-regulating hormones in BD and controls. A total of 32 studies were included. Leptin and insulin levels were significantly elevated in patients with BD during euthymia, but not in other mood states. Greater differences in the number of male participants between patients with BD and healthy controls were associated with higher effect size estimates for the levels of insulin. There were significant positive correlations of effect size estimates for the levels of adiponectin with the percentage of individuals with type I BD and duration of BD. Our findings point to the mechanisms underlying high rates of cardiometabolic comorbidities in BD. Moreover, they suggest that investigating hormonal regulation of appetite might help to understand differences in the neurobiology of BD types.

Abstract
AbstractBackgroundBipolar disorder (BD) is a psychiatric disorder associated with increased rates of obesity and inflammation. Leptin is an adipokine that is mainly produced by the white adipose tissue in response to insulin. It stimulates the immune system, increasing the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. There is currently uncertainty regarding possible alterations in peripheral leptin levels across the mood states in BD.MethodsThis study comprises a between-group meta-analysis comparing serum and plasma leptin levels in people with BD in mania, depression or euthymia and healthy controls. We conducted a systematic search for all possibly eligible-English and non-English peer-reviewed articles. We calculated the effect size (ES) utilizing Hedges’ adjusted g using random effects.ResultsEleven studies were included in the meta-analyses, providing data on 1118 participants. Serum and plasma leptin levels were not altered in subjects with BD when compared to healthy controls in mania (g = −0.99, 95% CI −2.43 to 0.43, P = 0.171), in depression (g = 0.17, 95% CI −0.45 to 0.79, P = 0.584), or in euthymia (g = 0.03, 95% CI −0.39 to 0.46, P = 0.882). However, we did observe a stronger association between leptin levels and both age and BMI in patients with BD in euthymia compared to healthy controls, such that the greater the age of the individuals, the greater the difference in leptin levels between BD and controls; and the higher the BMI, the greater the difference in leptin levels between BD and controls.ConclusionsOur meta-analysis provides evidence that leptin levels are not altered in BD across the mood spectrum compared to healthy controls. The disproportionate increase of leptin levels with increase in BMI in BD speaks in favour of a potential inflammatory role of white adipose tissue in BD and a disproportionate increase of leptin levels with increase in age.

Abstract
PURPOSE Obesity and metabolic syndrome (MeS) are more frequently observed in bipolar patients than the general population. This may result from the differences of adipocytokines and ghrelin levels in bipolar disorder. MATERIAL AND METHODS We evaluated the leptin, adiponectin, resistin and ghrelin levels in bipolar patients (n = 30) in manic episode and in a control group (n = 30). After treatment, the same patients were evaluated again during the euthymic episode. We also measured the insulin, glucose, insulin resistance (HOMA), trygliceride (TG), total cholesterol (TCHOL), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL) and low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL) in relation to the (MeS). RESULTS When controlling for age, BMI and glucose, leptin levels were higher in the bipolar disorder manic episode group (BD-ME) and bipolar euthymic episode group (BD-EE) than the control group; resistin levels were higher in the BD-ME compared to the control group and it had a positive correlation with Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS). After treatment, ghrelin levels were higher in the BD-EE compared to the BD-ME group. There was no difference among the groups with respect to adiponectin. CONCLUSIONS The present results point that high leptin, resistin and ghrelin levels may be involved in the early pathophysiological process which can lead to later obesity and MeS in patients with bipolar disorder.

Search for common targets of lithium and valproic acid identifies novel epigenetic effects of lithium on the rat leptin receptor gene. Transl Psychiatry 2015; 5:e600.

Abstract
Epigenetics may have an important role in mood stabilizer action. Valproic acid (VPA) is a histone deacetylase inhibitor, and lithium (Li) may have downstream epigenetic actions. To identify genes commonly affected by both mood stabilizers and to assess potential epigenetic mechanisms that may be involved in their mechanism of action, we administered Li (N = 12), VPA (N = 12), and normal chow (N = 12) to Brown Norway rats for 30 days. Genomic DNA and mRNA were extracted from the hippocampus. We used the mRNA to perform gene expression analysis on Affymetrix microarray chips, and for genes commonly regulated by both Li and VPA, we validated expression levels using quantitative real-time PCR. To identify potential mechanisms underlying expression changes, genomic DNA was bisulfite treated for pyrosequencing of key CpG island 'shores' and promoter regions, and chromatin was prepared from both hippocampal tissue and a hippocampal-derived cell line to assess modifications of histones. For most genes, we found little evidence of DNA methylation changes in response to the medications. However, we detected histone H3 methylation and acetylation in the leptin receptor gene, Lepr, following treatment with both drugs. VPA-mediated effects on histones are well established, whereas the Li effects constitute a novel mechanism of transcriptional derepression for this drug. These data support several shared transcriptional targets of Li and VPA, and provide evidence suggesting leptin signaling as an epigenetic target of two mood stabilizers. Additional work could help clarify whether leptin signaling in the brain has a role in the therapeutic action of Li and VPA in bipolar disorder.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Obesity is more common among patients with bipolar disorder as compared to normal population. There are studies showing increased leptin levels in obese patients. The aim of the present study was to investigate the alterations in leptin levels, body mass index (BMI), and lipid-lipoprotein levels during manic period, as well as during euthymic period, after one month in patients with bipolar disorder. METHODS Thirty-one adult patients, who had been hospitalized in the psychiatry clinic because of manic period of bipolar disorder, were included in the present study. Serum leptin and lipid-lipoprotein levels and BMI of the patients were analyzed both on the first day and 30th day of hospitalization after they became euthymic. RESULTS Total cholesterol and triglyceride levels significantly increased in male patients (p<.05). The increase in total cholesterol and LDL-C levels was not significant in female patients (p=.066 and p=.056, respectively). BMI was significantly, but slightly increased in both genders (.56±.14 kg/m2), however, such a change was not observed in serum leptin levels. CONCLUSION Results of the present study demonstrated that clinical improvement in bipolar patients showed different association in each gender with the alterations in BMI and serum lipid and/or lipoprotein levels. Such an alteration might have resulted from direct or indirect effect of drugs, as well as from lifestyle changes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Bariatric surgery is the most effective therapy for severe obesity. People with bipolar disorder have increased risk of obesity, yet are sometimes considered ineligible for bariatric surgery due to their bipolar disorder diagnosis. This study aimed to determine if bariatric surgery alters psychiatric course among stable patients with bipolar disorder. METHODS A matched cohort study (2006-2009) with mean follow-up of 2.17 years was conducted within Kaiser Permanente Northern California, a group practice integrated health services delivery organization that provides medical and psychiatric care to 3.3 million people. Participants were 144 severely obese patients with bipolar disorder who underwent bariatric surgery, and 1,440 control patients with bipolar disorder, matched for gender, medical center, and contemporaneous health plan membership. Controls met referral criteria for bariatric surgery. Hazard ratio for psychiatric hospitalization, and change in rate of outpatient psychiatric utilization from baseline to Years 1 and 2, were compared between groups. RESULTS A total of 13 bariatric surgery patients (9.0%) and 153 unexposed to surgery (10.6%) had psychiatric hospitalization during follow-up. In multivariate Cox models adjusting for potential confounding factors, the hazard ratio of psychiatric hospitalization associated with bariatric surgery was 1.03 [95% confidence interval (CI): 0.83-1.23]. In fully saturated multivariate general linear models, change in outpatient psychiatric utilization was not significantly different for surgery patients versus controls, from baseline to Year 1 (-0.4 visits/year, 95% CI: -0.5 to 0.4) or baseline to Year 2 (0.4 visits/year, 95% CI: -0.1 to 1.0). CONCLUSIONS Bariatric surgery did not affect psychiatric course among stable patients with bipolar disorder. The results of this study suggest that patients with bipolar disorder who have been evaluated as stable can be considered for bariatric surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Accumulating evidence indicates a high prevalence rate of metabolic disturbance in bipolar disorder (BP) patients. However, the prevalence across BP subtypes has been investigated to a lesser degree. In the current study, we surveyed the prevalence of metabolic syndrome among drug-naïve bipolar II patients. Moreover, the effects of pharmacological treatment on metabolic indexes were also evaluated. METHODS This study recruited fifty-six drug-naïve BP II patients diagnosed according to the DSM-IV criteria. Among them, forty-four patients completed a 12-week pharmacological intervention with valproic acid, fluoxetine and lorazepam. Metabolic profiles and body mass index (BMI) were measured at baseline and 2 weeks, 8 weeks, and 12 weeks after receiving medication. RESULTS The mean age of the 56 patients was 30.3±11.1. Before receiving medication, 6.5% of the patients met the ATP III criterion for metabolic syndrome. Among the 44 patients who completed the 12-week pharmacological intervention, the prevalence of metabolic syndrome increased from 7% to 10%. Repeated measurements showed that the changes in metabolic indexes were not significant, with the exceptions of BMI, waist circumference, and buttock circumference. In addition, the interaction between the improvement of hypomanic symptoms and BMI change was significant. LIMITATIONS The study was limited by the follow-up duration and sample size. CONCLUSIONS In drug-naïve BP II patients, the prevalence of metabolic syndrome was significantly lower than that observed before in BP I patients. However, medications use was also associated with an increased risk of metabolic disturbance, although the impact was lesser. Clinical evidence suggests that metabolism and emotion homeostasis might share common mechanisms.

Abstract
Bipolar disorder (BD) is associated with considerable higher chronic medical comorbidities, overweight and obesity. Adipokines are adipocyte-derived secretory factors which have functions in immune response and seem to be associated with both BD and overweight. The aim of this study was to evaluate the plasma levels of adipokines (adiponectin, resistin and leptin) and TNF-α and its receptors (sTNFR1 and sTNFR2) in BD overweight patients in comparison with overweight controls. Thirty euthymic BD type-I patients and thirty controls matched by age, gender and body-mass index (BMI) were assessed by Mini-International Neuropsychiatric Interview, Young Mania and Hamilton Depression rating scales (YMRS and HDRS, respectively). Plasma levels of adiponectin, resistin, leptin, TNF-α and its soluble receptors were measured by ELISA. BD patients presented increased plasma levels of adiponectin (p < 0.001), leptin (p < 0.001) and sTNFR1 (p = 0.01). Plasma levels of adipokines were not correlated neither with clinical parameters nor TNF-α, sTNFR1 and sTNFR2 plasma levels. This study provides further support to the hypothesis of the immune/inflammatory imbalance in BD.

Abstract
This analysis was conducted to compare the effects of adjunctive ziprasidone or placebo on metabolic parameters among patients receiving maintenance treatment with lithium or valproate. We also tested whether metabolic syndrome (MetS) and other risk factors were associated with baseline characteristics and treatment response. In the stabilization phase (Phase 1), 584 bipolar I disorder (DSM-IV) patients received 2.5-4 months of open label ziprasidone (80-160 mg/d) plus lithium or valproic acid (ZIP+MS). Patients who achieved at least 8 weeks of clinical stability were subsequently randomized into Phase 2 to 6-months of double-blind treatment with ZIP+MS (n=127) vs. placebo+MS (n=113). At baseline of Phase 1, MetS was found in 111 participants (23%). Participants with MetS (vs. non-MetS participants) were more likely to be aged 40 years or older, had significantly more severe manic symptoms, higher abdominal obesity, and higher BMI. Increase in abdominal obesity was associated with lower manic symptom improvement (p<0.05, as assessed by MRS change score) during Phase 1, while symptom improvement differed across racial groups. In the Phase 2 double-blind phase, the ZIP+MS group had similar weight and metabolic profiles compared to the placebo+MS group across visits. These results corroborate existing findings on ziprasidone which exhibits a neutral weight and metabolic profile in the treatment of schizophrenia and bipolar patients. Our findings suggest that MetS is highly prevalent in patients with bipolar disorder, may be associated with greater manic symptom severity, and may predict treatment outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Valproate (VPA) is a mood stabilizer for treating patients with bipolar disorder (BD). It may cause metabolic abnormalities in certain bipolar patients. However, the genetic factors that influence the susceptibility remain unclear. Genetic polymorphism of the G-protein β3 subunit (GNB3) is reported to be associated with metabolic phenotypes. In the current study, we investigated the possible associations between the GNB3 variation and VPA-induced metabolic abnormalities. METHODS Subjects (n = 96) who met the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition criteria for BD were recruited from the National Cheng Kung University Hospital. Their metabolic indices were measured. RESULTS The variation of GNB3 C825T showed an association with higher plasma total cholesterol (P = 0.037), triglyceride (P = 0.014), and leptin (P < 0.001) levels in BD patients treated with VPA. After adjusting for age, sex, types of BDs, and serum concentration of VPA, the variation of GNB3 C825T remained significantly associated with the levels of serum leptin and body mass index (BMI; P < 0.001 and P = 0.030, respectively). In addition, the GNB3 C825T showed significant drug-single-nucleotide polymorphism interactions with insulin levels (P = 0.033), triglyceride levels (P = 0.013), leptin levels (P = 0.013), and BMI (P = 0.018). These results indicated that the T allele may be associated with lower serum leptin levels and BMI in BD patients treated with VPA. CONCLUSIONS The current study provides evidence that BD patients who are T allele carriers of the GNB3 C825T polymorphism have a lower risk for VPA-induced metabolic abnormalities. Further studies about the underlying mechanisms of G protein in VPA-induced metabolic abnormalities are warranted.

Abstract
Women with mood disorders, especially bipolar disorder (BD), have been shown to have high rates of reproductive and metabolic dysfunction. The available data on the functional, anatomic, and clinical neuroendocrine abnormalities in women with BD suggest a two-tiered relationship with mood pathology. First, many of the medications commonly used in the treatment of BD can have deleterious effects on blood levels of reproductive hormones and consequently on the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis and reproductive function. Studies that have specifically addressed the association between psychotropic medications and menstrual abnormalities, polycystic ovary syndrome, and overall reproductive endocrine function in women with BD have found high rates of HPG irregularities in women with BD. Second, there is evidence of reproductive dysfunction in women with BD prior to treatment. In addition, many of the psychotropic medications used in the treatment of BD are associated with weight gain, insulin resistance, and dyslipidemia. These metabolic side effects further compound the neuroendocrine system dysregulation in women with BD. Current understanding of the reproductive and metabolic function in women with BD points to vulnerability, which in turn increases the risk of later-life cardiovascular disease and diabetes, among other morbidities, for women with BD.

Abstract
The Canadian Network for Mood and Anxiety Treatments (CANMAT) published guidelines for the management of bipolar disorder in 2005, with a 2007 update. This second update, in conjunction with the International Society for Bipolar Disorders (ISBD), reviews new evidence and is designed to be used in conjunction with the previous publications. The recommendations for the management of acute mania remain mostly unchanged. Lithium, valproate, and several atypical antipsychotics continue to be first-line treatments for acute mania. Tamoxifen is now suggested as a third-line augmentation option. The combination of olanzapine and carbamazepine is not recommended. For the management of bipolar depression, lithium, lamotrigine, and quetiapine monotherapy, olanzapine plus selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI), and lithium or divalproex plus SSRI/bupropion remain first-line options. New data support the use of adjunctive modafinil as a second-line option, but also indicate that aripiprazole should not be used as monotherapy for bipolar depression. Lithium, lamotrigine, valproate, and olanzapine continue to be first-line options for maintenance treatment of bipolar disorder. New data support the use of quetiapine monotherapy and adjunctive therapy for the prevention of manic and depressive events, aripiprazole monotherapy for the prevention of manic events, and risperidone long-acting injection monotherapy and adjunctive therapy, and adjunctive ziprasidone for the prevention of mood events. Bipolar II disorder is frequently overlooked in treatment guidelines, but has an important clinical impact on patients' lives. This update provides an expanded look at bipolar II disorder.

Jin H, Meyer JM, Mudaliar S, Jeste DV. Impact of atypical antipsychotic therapy on leptin, ghrelin, and adiponectin. Schizophr Res 2008; 100:70-85. [PMID: 18206351 PMCID: PMC2699769 DOI: 10.1016/j.schres.2007.11.026] [Citation(s) in RCA: 98] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/04/2007] [Revised: 11/15/2007] [Accepted: 11/19/2007] [Indexed: 12/22/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Many adverse effects of atypical antipsychotic treatment are associated with antagonism of monoamine receptors; however, data indicate that important metabolic effects, such as hypertriglyceridemia and impairment in glucose/insulin homeostasis, may not be related to these mechanisms, leading investigators to explore alternative hypotheses. Promising candidates include a possible impact of antipsychotics on peptide hormonal regulators of metabolic control such as leptin, ghrelin, and adiponectin. The purpose of this review is to summarize recent data on changes in these hormones during atypical antipsychotic treatment. METHODS A Medline search was performed for papers published from January 1999 to January 2007 using key words antipsychotic, atypical antipsychotic, and individual atypical antipsychotic drug names cross-referenced with leptin, ghrelin, and adiponectin. RESULTS The bulk of the published work focused on changes in body weight and serum leptin, with far less data on ghrelin, and adiponectin, and nonweight metabolic changes. Leptin changes were directly related to a medication's weight gain liability, with no added antipsychotic effects on leptin signaling. Conflicting results emerged for the other markers, but all three long-term studies on ghrelin showed increased levels in patients on atypical antipsychotics with weight gain liabilities. CONCLUSIONS Leptin increases during antipsychotic treatment are a result of weight gain rather than a direct impact of atypical antipsychotics on leptin physiology. Preliminary long-term data show increased ghrelin levels, but this finding must be replicated. The association with antipsychotic effects on glucose and lipid metabolism and these hormones remains virtually unstudied. Future research should indicate whether ghrelin and other peptide hormones may be useful predictors of weight gain or metabolic changes in patients on antipsychotics.

Abstract
We have shown that plasma apolipoprotein E is significantly decreased in treatment-free subjects with schizophrenia spectrum and bipolar disorder but increases after treatment in bipolar disorder. Levels of apolipoprotein D were not changed by treatment. Hence changed apolipoprotein E could be involved in abnormalities in lipid homeostasis in some subjects with psychiatric diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Olanzapine (OLA) administration has been reported to induce weight gain in experimental animals and humans, through not yet fully defined mechanisms of action. Aim of this study was to determine whether in patients with Anorexia Nervosa (AN) OLA induces weight gain through the modulation of the hunger-satiety regulatory peptides leptin and ghrelin. METHODS Twenty anorexic probands received a 3 months course of cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy and programmed nutritional rehabilitation, combined with OLA PO (2.5 mg for 1 month and 5 mg for 2 months) in ten patients and with placebo PO (PL) in the other 10. Weight, measured as body mass index (BMI), leptin and ghrelin plasma values were monitored before starting the therapy and then monthly for 3 months. Plasma leptin was measured by ELISA, and plasma ghrelin by radioimmunoassay. RESULTS BMI increased significantly but not differently in both treatment groups. Leptin and ghrelin secretion did not change during the course of the treatments. No correlations were observed between BMI values and leptin and ghrelin levels. CONCLUSIONS Our data suggest that the weight gain observed in our OLA-treated patients was not linked to drug administration. Moreover, leptin and ghrelin secretions were not responsible for BMI changes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This is the first study in bipolar patients, aimed to evaluate possible roles of the drugs, [atypical antipsychotics (AA) and mood stabilizers (MS)], inducing metabolic syndrome (MetS). METHODS 125 bipolar patients, diagnosed according to the DSM IV, were assessed cross-sectionally for MetS according to the National Cholesterol Educational Program criteria (NCEP ATP III). Patients included in the study were required to receive medications (AAs: quetiapine, risperidone and olanzapine, and MSs: Lithium, Sodium Valproate, Carbamazepine, Lamotrigine) for at least 3 months. Patients are divided into three groups as only AA users, AA+MS users and only MS users. RESULTS Of the patients, 32% were MetS, a proportion higher than normal population and similar as previous studies in bipolar patients. AA taking patients had significantly higher MetS rates than the others (chi(2)=10.47 df=2 p=0.005). Also, AA taking patients had significantly higher MetS rates than MS taking patients (chi(2)=8.86 df=1 p=0.003). There was no significant difference among quetiapine, olanzapine, risperidone usage for MetS prevalences (chi(2)=0.38 df=2 p=0.82). CONCLUSIONS AA taking bipolar patients had higher MetS rates. Despite already existing data on MetS and antipsychotics, this cross-sectional study is the first research, discusses AAs and MSs for inducing MetS in bipolar disorder. Prospectively designed researches should be conducted for further clarification of the role of these drugs in MetS.

Abstract
In 2005, the Canadian Network for Mood and Anxiety Treatments (CANMAT) published guidelines for the management of bipolar disorder. This update reviews new evidence since the previous publication and incorporates recommendations based on the most current evidence for treatment of various phases of bipolar disorder. It is designed to be used in conjunction with the 2005 CANMAT Guidelines. The recommendations for the management of acute mania remain mostly unchanged. Lithium, valproate and several atypical antipsychotics continue to be recommended as first-line treatments for acute mania. For the management of bipolar depression, new data support quetiapine monotherapy as a first-line option. Lithium and lamotrigine monotherapy, olanzapine plus selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI), and lithium or divalproex plus SSRI/bupropion continue to remain the other first-line options. First-line options in the maintenance treatment of bipolar disorder continue to be lithium, lamotrigine, valproate and olanzapine. There is recent evidence to support the combination of olanzapine and fluoxetine as a second-line maintenance therapy for bipolar depression. New data also support quetiapine monotherapy as a second-line option for the management of acute bipolar II depression. The importance of comorbid psychiatric and medical conditions cannot be understated, and this update provides an expanded look at the prevalence, impact and management of comorbid conditions in patients with bipolar disorder.
