| Popis: | Objective Abnormal blood lipid levels are common in bipolar disorder (BD) and correlate with mood symptoms and neurocognition. However, studies have not examined the lipid-brain structure association in BD or youth. Methods This study examined low-density lipoprotein (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein (HDL-C), triglycerides, and total cholesterol (TC) levels in relation to brain structure utilizing T1-weighted images, among participants ages 13-20 with BD (n = 55) and healthy controls (HC; n = 47). General linear models investigated group differences in the association of lipids with anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), hippocampus, and inferior parietal lobe structure, controlling for age, sex, body mass index, and intracranial volume. For significant associations, post hoc within-group analyses were undertaken. Exploratory vertex-wise analyses further investigated group differences in the lipid-brain structure association. Results There were significant group differences in the association of LDL-C (β = -0.29 p = 0.001), and TC (β = -0.21 p = 0.016), with hippocampal volume, and triglycerides with ACC volume (β = -0.25 p = 0.01) and area (β = -0.26 p = 0.004). Elevated lipids were associated with smaller brain structure to a significantly greater extent in BD vs HC. Post hoc analyses revealed that elevated LDL-C (β = -0.27 p = 0.007) and reduced HDL-C (β = 0.24 p = 0.01) were associated with smaller hippocampal volume in the BD group. Exclusion of BD second-generation antipsychotic users did not alter these results. Vertex-wise analyses further showed that elevated lipids were associated with smaller brain structure to a significantly greater extent in BD vs HC, across the cortex. Conclusion Elevated lipids are associated with smaller brain structure in BD. Research evaluating lipid-brain structure associations prospectively and whether lipid optimization has salutary effects on brain structure is necessary. |
