This up-to-date compilation addresses the scientific problems of determining a mode of action of lithium and provides a cross-disciplinary perspective. In addition to psychiatrists interested in the therapeutic uses of lithium, it will also be of interest to biochemists using lithium as an inhibitor of phosphoinositide signaling, immunologists studying lymphocytes, and dermatologists studying viral replication in the skin.
Research pharmacologists and biochemists, as well as psychiatrists, virologists, and dermatologists.

Methods for Determination of the Distribution of Lithium at the Histological and Cytological Levels. Studies on Li+ Transport Using 7Li and 6Li NMR. Effect of Lithium on Viral Replication. Effect of Lithium on Human Neurotransmitter Receptor Systems and G Proteins. Lithium and the Phosphoinositide Signalling System. Lithium in the Cellular Environment. Intracellular Concentrations of Lithium as Studied by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy. Effect of Lithium on Blood Cells and the Function of Granulocytes. Mechanism of Action of Lithium: Comparison and Contrast with Carbamazepine. Gastrointestinal Absorption of Lithium. Renal Elimination of Lithium.
