Summary

This study looked at two specific proteins in the blood of people with bipolar disorder during a manic episode and compared them to healthy volunteers. The goal was to see if these proteins, which are linked to inflammation and brain cell communication, could help explain the condition. 72 people took part, and the researchers measured their blood and mood symptoms.
