    The Na,K-ATPase hypothesis for manic-depression. I. General considerations.

    Abstract

    An hypothesis is presented to explain and integrate experimental and clinical observations on manic-depressive (bipolar or biphasic) psychosis. The model is based on alterations in the activity of the sodium, potassium-activated adenosine triphosphatase (Na, K-ATPase) pump. A reduction in the activity of the Na,K-ATPase can be responsible for both phases of the disorder.
