Increased Global-Brain Functional Connectivity Is Associated with Dyslipidemia and Cognitive Impairment in First-Episode, Drug-Naive Patients with Bipolar Disorder

<div>(a, b) Positive correlations between the GFC values in the LIFG, pars triangularis and the TG or LDL-C in patients with BD. (c, d) Negative correlations between the GFC values in the LIFG, pars triangularis and Stroop color or coding test of the RBANS in patients with BD. BD: bipolar disorder; GFC: global-brain functional connectivity; LIFG: left inferior frontal gyrus; RBANS: repeatable battery neuropsychological status; TG: triglycerides; LDL-C: low-density lipoprotein cholesterol.</div>
