Effects of Li+ transport and Li+ immobilization on Li+/Mg2+ competition in cells: implications for bipolar disorder

Li+/Mg2+ competition has been implicated in the therapeutic action of Li+ treatment in bipolar illness. We hypothesized that this competition depended on cell-specific properties. To test this hypothesis, we determined the degree of Li+ transport, immobilization, and Li+/Mg2+ competition in lymphobl...
