Metabolic Hormones in Schizophrenia Patients with Antipsychotic-Induced Metabolic Syndrome

Abstract: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a common complication of schizophrenia that is quite exacerbated by long-term use of (atypical) antipsychotics. The mechanism of MetS has neuronal, neuroendocrine, and neuroimmunological components and shows some overlap with those of aspects of schizophrenia. We examined 195 patients with schizophrenia (90 with and 105 without MetS) for the association of serum levels of ghrelin, insulin, and leptin with metabolic abnormalities. Serum glucose levels and lipid profiles were routine… Show more

“…MetS is a predisposing factor for cardiovascular pathologies and is regarded as a mortality risk factor in patients with mental disorders. Information on the pathogenesis of MetS can be obtained by studying hormones regulating metabolism and their genes, which in turn can also be considered potential biomarkers of the susceptibility to MetS and to lipid metabolism disorders [ 8 , 9 ]. Currently, aside from the generally accepted signs of MetS (central obesity, hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia, and blood pressure elevation), an important role is attributed to other and newer signs of MetS, such as microalbuminuria, cytokines, prothrombotic and fibrinolytic factors, and oxidative stress [ 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 ].…”
