ABSTRACT
Background:
Aerobic capacity has shown to predict physical and mental health-related quality of life in bipolar disorder (BD). However, the correlation between exercise respiratory capacity and mitochondrial function remains understudied. We aimed to assess longitudinally intra-individual differences in these factors during mood episodes and remission in BD.Methods:
This study included eight BD patients admitted to an acute psychiatric unit. Incremental cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) was conducted during acute episodes (T0), followed by constant work rate cycle ergometry (CWRCE) to evaluate endurance time, oxygen uptake at peak exercise (VO2peak) and at the anaerobic threshold. The second test was repeated during remission (T1). Mitochondrial respiration rates were assessed at T0 and T1 in peripheral blood mononuclear cells.Results:
Endurance time, VO2peak, and anaerobic threshold oxygen consumption showed no significant variations between T0 and T1. Basal oxygen consumption at T1 tended to inversely correlate with maximal mitochondrial respiratory capacity (r=-0.690, p=0.058), and VO2peak during exercise at T1 inversely correlated with basal and minimum mitochondrial respiration (r=-0.810, p=0.015; r=-0.786, p=0.021, respectively).Conclusions:
Our preliminary data showed that lower basal oxygen consumption may be linked to greater mitochondrial respiratory capacity, and maximum oxygen uptake during the exercise task was associated with lower basal mitochondrial respiration, suggesting that lower oxygen requirements could be associated with greater mitochondrial capacity. These findings should be replicated in larger samples stratified for manic and depressive states.
