Ecologic-Metabolic Profile of Schizophrenia

چکیده
In Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol, Jacob Marley, Scrooge's former partner appeared to Scrooge in a ghostly apparition. "You don't believe in me," observed the ghost. "I don't," said Scrooge. "What evidence would you have of my reality beyond that of your senses?" "I don't know," said Scrooge. "Why do you doubt your senses?" "Because," said Scrooge, "a little thing affects them. A slight disorder of the stomach makes them cheat. You might be an undigested bit of beef, a blot of mustard, a crump of cheese, a fragment of undone potato. There is more of gravy than the grave about you whatever you are!" (1843).

متن کاملAssociation of the PPAR-γ Gene with Altered Glucose Levels and Psychosis Profile in Schizophrenia Patients Exposed to Antipsychotics
OBJECTIVE Metabolic abnormalities, e.g., diabetes, are common among schizophrenia patients. Peroxisome proliferator activated receptor-γ (PPAR-γ) regulates glucose/lipid metabolisms, and schizophrenia like syndrome may be induced by actions involving retinoid X receptor-α/PPAR-γ heterodimers. We examined a possible role of the PPAR-γ gene in metabolic traits and psychosis profile in schizophren...

Second generation antipsychotics are associated with weight gain and other metabolic side effects (1). Among the atypical antipsychotics, treatment with olanzapine has been found to worsen the lipid profile (2). Atypical antipsychotics also increase the risk of developing metabolic syndrome (3, 4). The baseline prevalence of diabetes maybe two to three folds higher in patients with schizophreni...
