The article cites a study concerning the relationship between blood adenosine triphosphate (ATP) levels and mood in patients who suffer from manic-depressive predictable short term cycle psychotic states, and in depressive patients who receive electroconvulsive therapy. In this study, ATP was identified by the luciferin-luciferase technique. Two patients, male and female with affective disorders were followed with blood ATP determinations and mood rating during a course of electroconvulsive treatment. The findings showed that the ATP was low in the depressive phases and it was found to be correlated significantly with mood. Moreover, based on the significant correlations with mood scores, it showed that the ATP increased to normal with clinical recovery. |
