Mitochondrial Alterations in Fibroblasts of Early Stage Bipolar Disorder Patients
Marques, AP; Resende, R; Silva, DF; Batista, M; Pereira, D; Wildenberg, B; Morais, S; Macedo, A; Pais, C; Melo, JB; Madeira, N; Pereira, CFThis study aims to evaluate whether mitochondrial changes occur in the early stages of bipolar disorder (BD). Using fibroblasts derived from BD patients and matched controls, the levels of proteins involved in mitochondrial biogenesis and dynamics (fission and fusion) were evaluated by Western Blot analysis. Mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) was studied using the fluorescent probe TMRE. Mitochondrial morph...

Carreira, IM; Ferreira, SI; Matoso, E; Pires, LM; Ferrão, J; Jardim, A; Mascarenhas, A; Pinto, M; Lavoura, N; Pais, C; Paiva, P; Simões, L; Caramelo, FArray-based comparative genomic hybridization has been assumed to be the first genetic test offered to detect genomic imbalances in patients with unexplained intellectual disability with or without dysmorphisms, multiple congenital anomalies, learning difficulties and autism spectrum disorders. Our study contributes to the genotype/phenotype correlation with the delineation of laboratory criteria which help to ...
