This may be accomplished through regulation of inositol monophosphate metabolism, neurotransmitter receptor sensitivity, or second messenger function. In addition, lithium inhibits sodium transport in nerve and muscle cells and alters serotonin function. Lithium also has a direct inhibitory effect on adenosine triphosphatase activity. All of these mechanisms are postulated to be involved in its therapeutic effect."
