Abstract
OBJECTIVE The pathogenesis of schizophrenia is associated with neuropeptide Y (NPY) gene polymorphism to explore the relationship between rs16141, rs16145, and rs5573 polymorphisms in the NPY gene and antipsychotics response in the Chinese population. METHODS The unrelated 228 Chinese Han patients with schizophrenia were enrolled in the present study. Genotypisation within NPY gene was performed using the KASP genotyping assays. Before treatment and on the weekends of the 2nd, 4th, and 8th weeks after treatment, the medication status of the patients was recorded and the positive and negative syndrome scale (PANSS) was used to evaluate the clinical effect. A reduction in total PANSS scores ≥50% were classified as good responders, while others were poor responders. We evaluated the association between NPY gene and antipsychotic efficacy by comparing allele and genotype distribution, correlation analysis, linkage imbalance, and five genetic models between the two groups. RESULTS No significant associations were found in the rs16141, rs16145, and rs5573 of NPY and antipsychotic treatment response (all p > 0.05). There was no significant relationship between the three SNPs polymorphisms in the NPY gene and the changes of positive, negative and general psychopathology subscales scores at each stage (all p > 0.05). The distribution of genotype and allele frequencies of locus rs16141 was not statistically difference between good responders and poor responders (genotype: χ2 =4.088, p=0.043, p-correction = 0.129; allele: χ2 = 4.088, p = 0.027, p-correction = 0.081). The allele distribution of rs5573 was significantly different between groups, yet the difference was disappeared after correcting (χ2 = 4.136, p = 0.042, p-correction =0.126). The distribution frequencies of TA/TG and GG haplotypes constituted by rs16141 and rs5573 showed no statistical difference between the two groups (p > 0.05). In recessive inheritance mode, NPYrs5573 was found to be associated with antipsychotic drug response (G/G vs. A/A +A/G: p = 0.028, AIC = 197.2, BIC = 210.9). CONCLUSIONS This study didn't found association between polymorphisms in the NPY gene locus (rs16141, rs16145, and rs5573) and the response to antipsychotics after Bonferroni correction. The polymorphism of NPY gene and the efficacy of antipsychotic drugs in patients with schizophrenia need further study.

Psychoneuroendocrinology 2020; 119:104744.

Abstract
Cardiometabolic diseases are the main contributor of reduced life expectancy in patients with schizophrenia. It is now widely accepted that antipsychotic treatment plays an important role in the development of obesity and its consequences. However, some intrinsic mechanisms need to be taken into consideration. One of these mechanisms might be related to impaired hormonal regulation of appetite in this group of patients. In this narrative review, we aimed to dissect impairments of appetite-regulating hormones attributable to intrinsic mechanisms and those related to medication effects. Early hormonal alterations that might be associated with intrinsic mechanisms include low levels of leptin and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) together with elevated insulin levels in first-episode psychosis (FEP) patients. However, evidence regarding low GLP-1 levels in FEP patients is based on one large study. In turn, multiple-episode schizophrenia patients show elevated levels of insulin, leptin and orexin A together with decreased levels of adiponectin. In addition, patients receiving olanzapine may present with low ghrelin levels. Post mortem studies have also demonstrated reduced number of neuropeptide Y neurons in the prefrontal cortex of patients with schizophrenia. Treatment with certain second-generation antipsychotics may also point to these alterations. Although our understanding of hormonal regulation of appetite in schizophrenia has largely been improved, several limitations and directions for future studies need to be addressed. This is of particular importance since several novel pharmacological interventions for obesity and diabetes have already been developed and translation of these developments to the treatment of cardiometabolic comorbidities in schizophrenia patients is needed.

Abstract
The aim of this study is to analyze whether clozapine serum concentration may affect fasting serum levels of several appetite regulating peptides: CART, PYY(1-36), NPY, AgRP, des-acylated ghrelin, leptin and obestatin. Serum concentration of clozapine and fasting serum levels of des-acylated ghrelin, neuropeptide Y (NPY), agouti-related protein (AgRP), peptide YY (PYY(1-36)), cocaine- and amphetamine-regulated transcript (CART), leptin and obestatin were measured in 30 subjects with schizophrenia on clozapine monotherapy. Leptin concentration was negatively correlated with clozapine dose (r = -0.53, p = 0.002), while NPY concentration was negatively correlated with clozapine concentration (r = -0.55, p = 0.01). Correlations with other peptides were not significant. We cannot conclude that serum concentration of clozapine is directly associated with increased or decreased level of appetite-regulating peptides.

Abstract
AbstractBackgroundAntipsychotic-induced weight gain (AIWG) leads to metabolic consequences and comorbidity, social stigmatization and nonadherence in patients with schizophrenia. Neuropeptide Y (NPY) has an important role in appetite and body weight regulation. Associations between AIWG and serum NPY levels, and genetic polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with its serum levels have been little studied in these patients.Subjects and methodsAssociations between serum NPY concentration and other metabolic and inflammatory markers, and 215 SNPs in 21 genes (NPY gene, NPY receptor genes and genes encoding arcuate nucleus NPY neuron receptors) were studied in 180 patients with schizophrenia on clozapine treatment.ResultsThe serum levels of NPY correlated with levels of resistin (r = 0.31, P < 0.001) and age (r = 0.22, P = 0.003). In the general linear univariate model the best-fitting model with explanatory factors age, serum resistin level, serum insulin level, BMI and gender explained 18.0% (P < 0.001) of the variance of serum NPY. Genetic risk score (GRSNPY) analysis found twelve significant (P < 0.05) serum NPY concentration related SNPs among α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor gene CHRNA7, insulin receptor gene INSR, leptin receptor gene LEPR, glucocorticoid receptor (GR) gene NR3C1, and NPY gene. However, after permutation test of gene score the predictive value of GRSNPY remained non-significant (P = 0.078).ConclusionsSerum NPY level does not seem to be a feasible biomarker of AIWG. Serum NPY level alterations are not significantly associated with the candidate gene polymorphisms studied.
