“…39 The concentration ratio was assumed to be a heritable trait underlying propensity to BD, 40,41 but these hypotheses were not confirmed by later studies. Moreover, it was subsequently discovered that lithium is not distributed in the brain (or even in neurons) evenly, questioning the relevance of the lithium ratio, especially if measured in peripheral cells.…”

“…Initial twin studies concluded that there is a genetic component to the interindividual variation in transport (Dorus, Pandey & Davis, 1975;Mendlewicz et al, 1978). In these experiments the concordance in the RBC-to-plasma Li + ratio between pairs of monozygotic twins was significantly greater than between pairs of dizygotic twins.…”

“…Lithium treatment also seemed to worsen epileptic episodes in patients with epilepsy [153]. Researchers believe that there is a genetic component to the uptake of lithium in the brain, and some people are at a genetic predisposition to take up lithium more easily [154]. Previously damaged brain matter is also not as effective at removing lithium as healthy tissue [156].…”

“…Levels continue to rise for another 12-14 hours after an initial 12-hour measure of the serum. Instead, more accurate levels of lithium in the brain are portrayed by intra-erythrocyte levels [154].…”
