Objective: To evaluate the relationship between patients' clinical parameters, especially
clinical specifiers, and the intron 4 VNTR variant of the endothelial nitric oxide synthase …

Abstract Background/Aim: Nitric oxide has been reported to play a role in neural transmitter
release and N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor activation, as well as to be related to oxidative …

Objective Given the importance of nitric oxide system in oxidative stress, inflammation,
neurotransmission and cerebrovascular tone regulation, we postulated its potential …

Introduction: Several studies have shown altered levels of nitric oxide (NO) and its stable
metabolites (NOx-) in blood and cerebrospinal fluid of psychiatric patients. The aim of our …

Recently an interesting association between a novel single nucleotide polymorphism in the
neuronal nitric oxide synthase (NOS1) gene and schizophrenia has been reported by …

Abstract Background/Aims: Several lines of evidence point to the role of neurobiological
mechanisms and genetic background in bipolar disorder (BD). The interleukin-1 receptor …

Recent data suggest that brain‐derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) plays an essential role in
neuronal plasticity and etiology of bipolar disorders (BPD). However, results from different …

Nitric oxide (NO) is a neurotransmitter that acts as a second messenger of the N‐methyl‐D‐
aspartate receptor and interacts with the dopaminergic and the serotonergic systems. NO …

Objectives Several studies have indicated the involvement of nitric oxide (NO) in the
pathogenesis of tardive dyskinesia (TD), an incapacitating adverse movement disorder …

Bipolar disorder (BD) is a chronic and disabling disorder characterized by manic,
hypomanic, or depressive episodes, with an estimated lifetime prevalence ranging from 1 …
