Metabolic dysfunction in women with bipolar disorder: the potential influence of family history of type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Bipolar Disord. 2010; (5): 504-13
Overweight/obesity, insulin resistance (IR), and other types of metabolic dysfunction are common in patients with bipolar disorder (BD); however, the pathophysiological underpinnings of metabolic dysfunction in BD are not fully understood. Family history of type 2 diabetes mellitus (FamHxDM2), which has been shown to have deleterious effects on metabolic function in the general population, may play a role in the metabolic dysfunction observed in BD.
