The intracellular choline concentration in erythrocytes of manic patients who never had lithium therapy was 3 times the value for normal human subjects. Lithium therapy increased this value to 11 times normal, and the increase began within the first 2 days of lithium therapy. Plasma choline concentration was normal in untreated manic patients and did not change during lithium therapy.
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 17 September 2023.
All research outputs
#12,428,062
of 34,526,284 outputs
Outputs from Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
#83,881
of 119,110 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#3,145
of 9,771 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
#70
of 158 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 34,526,284 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 37th percentile – i.e., 37% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 119,110 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 40.1. This one is in the 13th percentile – i.e., 13% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 9,771 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 7th percentile – i.e., 7% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 158 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 6th percentile – i.e., 6% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
