Study Summary
"This trial aims to study how different components of diet impact the brain function and behavior of individuals with bipolar disorder. Participants will provide blood samples to assess how the body uses energy, and then undergo two MRI
Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals with bipolar disorder. Participants will need to provide blood samples and undergo two MRI scan sessions while playing money-winning games, after consuming glucose on one day and ketones on another.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study investigates how diet components like glucose and ketones affect brain function in people with bipolar disorder. It compares the brain's energy use and behavioral responses during risk-reward tasks in an MRI setting.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects are not detailed but may include discomfort from blood draws or reactions to consuming glucose or ketones, as well as possible anxiety or claustrophobia during MRI scans.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: Ketone Supplement-MRI/MRSExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Participants (both the Bipolar Cohort and Healthy Comparison Cohort) will be tested twice, both times in an overnight fasting condition (8 hours no food, unrestricted water). Halfway through each of the two scan sessions, participants will be asked to drink either glucose (on one day) or ketones (on the other day). This within-subjects comparison will allow investigators to observe the effects of metabolism on brain function. Participants' glucose and ketone levels will also be measured, using a finger-prick blood measurement at three different times: 1) immediately before the scan session 2) 10 minutes after drinking the glucose or supplement 3) immediately following the scan session.
