The study investigates the differential expression of proteins associated with bipolar disorder (BD) using the PeptideShaker software. The research highlights the challenges in diagnosing BD and the potential of proteomic studies to identify biomarkers for better diagnosis and treatment. The study identified ten proteins with significant differences in expression between BD patients and healthy individuals, with four proteins predominantly present in BD patients. The findings suggest that these proteins could play a role in the pathogenesis of BD and may serve as potential biomarkers for diagnosis and targets for therapy. The research emphasizes the importance of further studies to develop new diagnostic criteria and treatment options for BD.
