ancestry is linked to greater effectiveness of the smoking cessation
medication bupropion (Zyban), according to research by scientists
supported by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) and the

Manic Phase of Bipolar Disorder Benefits from Breast Cancer Medication – September 12, 2007
The medication tamoxifen, best known as a treatment for breast
cancer, dramatically reduces symptoms of the manic phase of bipolar
disorder more quickly than many standard medications for the mental
illness, a new study shows. Researchers at the National Institutes
of Health’s National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) who conducted
the study also explained how: Tamoxifen blocks an enzyme called
protein kinase C (PKC) that regulates activities in brain cells.
The enzyme is thought to be over-active during the manic phase
of bipolar disorder. Continue reading
