Cerebral metabolic rates for glucose in mood disorders: studies with positron emission tomography and fluorodeoxyglucose F 18

• Cerebral metabolic rates for glucose were examined in patients with unipolar depression
(N= 11), bipolar depression (N= 5), mania (N= 5), bipolar mixed states (N= 3), and in normal
controls (N= 9) using positron emission tomography and fluorodeoxyglucose F 18. All
subjects were studied supine under ambient room conditions with eyes open. Bipolar
depressed and mixed patients had supratentorial whole brain glucose metabolic rates that
were significantly lower than those of the other comparison groups. The whole brain …
