At high levels, it can induce cell death due to calcium overload.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">PTH also promotes the conversion of vitamin D into its active form and is involved in neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory regulation. Vitamin D modulates the synthesis of neurotransmitters, influencing mood.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">High levels of PTH may be associated with neural damage and are associated with greater burden and worse clinical outcomes in Bipolar Disorder.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the published study, 199 patients with Bipolar Disorder type 1 (54.8%) or type 2 were selected. None of the patients had neurological or substance abuse comorbidities. Blood samples were obtained for testing from all patients.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Search results<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The main finding of the study was the association between high PTH levels and the severity of Bipolar Disorder, which may be due to several factors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Firstly, PTH levels can influence levels of chronic neuroinflammation, which is significantly associated with a greater burden of disease and a more severe clinical presentation of the disorder.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">High levels of PTH can lead to alterations in neurotransmitters, dysfunctional brain development, reduced immunoregulation and anti-inflammatory actions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Secondly, the relationship between high PTH levels and age of onset may be due to a chronic vitamin D deficiency, which triggers the neuroinflammation process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thirdly, the association between aggressive behavior and high levels of PTH can be explained by the role of calcium imbalance in the synthesis of <a href=\"https:\/\/petrusraulino.com.br\/en\/neuroimaging-and-brain-structure-in-psychiatric-disorders\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">neurotransmitters<\/a> of serotonin through the tryptophan pathways.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, it is known that 25% of patients treated with lithium may experience hypercalcemia secondary to increased PTH levels.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The results suggest that calcium imbalance may influence the long-term prognosis of <a href=\"https:\/\/petrusraulino.com.br\/en\/bipolar-disorder-and-lithium\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bipolar disorder.<\/a> PTH, vitamin D and calcium levels in patients with Bipolar Disorder should be monitored as they are a marker of clinical severity.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong>References<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Steardo, L., Luciano, M., Sampogna, G., Carbone, E.
