چکیده
BACKGROUND This study intended to simultaneously investigate the relationships between high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) in medicated schizophrenic patients vs healthy controls. METHODS During a 1-year period, we recruited 37 medicated schizophrenic patients and 30 healthy controls. Metabolic syndrome-related biomarkers including insulin and lipid profiles were enzymatically determined. RESULTS An analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) with BMI adjustment revealed that the patients had significantly lower HDL levels than the healthy controls (p = 0.017). ANCOVA with age adjustment revealed that the patients had significantly higher fasting insulin levels than the healthy controls (p = 0.034). In addition, in comparison with the healthy controls, the patients had higher mean serum levels of triglycerides, low-density lipoprotein, and total cholesterol as well as higher HOMA-IR values. However, there were no significant differences in any marker in the ANCOVA analysis after adjustment for age or BMI. CONCLUSION We found lower HDL and higher insulin levels in medicated schizophrenic patients than in healthy controls.

Background & Objective: To find an association between gene variants of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) with the risk of acne vulgaris (AV). Methods: In a case-control study, we investigated 150 AV patients and 148 healthy individuals (aged 18-25 years) for the IGF-1 G>A and MTHFR C677T polymorphis...
