| local.description.resumo | BACKGROUND: Bipolar disorder (BD) is a mood disorder associated with cardiovascular and metabolic diseases and premature aging. Growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF-15) has emerged as a biomarker for cardiovascular risk and aging. Our aim was to compare plasma levels of GDF-15 between BD patients and controls, and to evaluate whether they were associated with clinical parameters. METHODS: Forty-six patients with type I BD (23 in euthymia and 23 in mania) and 33 healthy controls were recruited for this study. Plasma levels of GDF-15 were measured by immunoassay. RESULTS: The levels of GDF-15 were significantly higher (p < 0.001) in patients with BD in comparison with controls. In patients, GDF-15 levels correlated with age (rho = 0.434; p = 0.003) and illness duration (rho = 0.502; p = 0.001). CONCLUSION: Our findings corroborate the view that BD is an illness associated with accelerated aging. | |
