Association of higher plasma leptin levels with HOMA-IR index, high sensitivity C-reactive protein and glycolipid metabolism in patients with chronic schizophrenia: A multi-center cross-sectional study. Front Psychiatry 2022; 13:992988. [PMID: 36090349 PMCID: PMC9453303 DOI: 10.3389/fpsyt.2022.992988] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/13/2022] [Accepted: 08/09/2022] [Indexed: 11/21/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous research has revealed that plasma leptin levels were closely related to glycolipid metabolism in schizophrenic patients. Insulin resistance (IR) and high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) were involved in glucolipid metabolism disorders. This study explored the correlation between plasma higher leptin levels, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) index, hs-CRP and glycolipid metabolism in patients with chronic schizophrenia (CS). METHODS 322 subjects were enrolled, and the psychopathological symptoms of each patient were assessed by a 30-item Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS-30). Patients' plasma leptin levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Fasting blood glucose (FBG) levels were determined by oxidase method. Insulin levels were tested by electrochemiluminescence, and hs-CRP levels were tested by immunoturbidimetry. IBM SPSS 22.0 was used for data analysis. RESULTS Compared to the lower leptin group, patients in the higher leptin group had significantly higher body mass index (BMI), total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), low-density lipoprotein (LDL-C), insulin, HOMA-IR and hs-CRP levels; and lower negative factor scores, cognitive factor scores, and PANSS total scores (P < 0.05). Plasma leptin levels in CS patients were positively correlated with BMI, TC, TG, LDL-C, insulin, HOMA-IR and hs-CRP levels, and were negatively correlated with gender (male = 1, Female = 2), positive factor scores, negative factor scores, cognitive factor scores and PANSS total scores. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that gender, BMI, positive factor scores, PANSS total scores, FBG, LDL-C, insulin, HOMA-IR and hs-CRP levels were independent influencing factors of leptin levels in CS patients (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION Gender, BMI, positive factor scores, PANSS total scores, FBG, LDL-C, insulin, HOMA-IR and hs-CRP levels were independent influencing factors of plasma leptin levels in CS patients. Plasma leptin, HOMA-IR and hs-CRP levels should be measured regularly in CS patients to prevent or treat the disorders of glucose and lipid metabolism comorbidity with schizophrenia patients in clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Front Psychiatry 2022; 13:930457. [PMID: 35800023 PMCID: PMC9253419 DOI: 10.3389/fpsyt.2022.930457] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/28/2022] [Accepted: 05/30/2022] [Indexed: 11/28/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of the present study was to investigate a potential relationship between metabolic parameters and steady-state plasma concentrations of olanzapine (OLA) and its metabolite, 4-N'-desmethyl-olanzapine (DMO) in patients with schizophrenia taking therapeutic doses. METHODS A total of 352 inpatients, diagnosed with schizophrenia according to the DSM-V criteria and treated with OLA, were investigated. The plasma concentrations of OLA and DMO were measured by high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS). Fasting blood samples were measured for insulin, glucose, total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c), C-reactive protein (CRP) and homocysteine, and differences in these parameters were investigated in relation to plasma concentrations of OLA and DMO. RESULTS Lower plasma DMO concentrations were associated with higher glucose and TG levels and homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), while higher plasma OLA concentrations were associated with higher CRP and homocysteine levels in the OLA-treated patients with schizophrenia. CONCLUSION These results demonstrate that OLA and its metabolite DMO may have different effects on OLA-induced metabolic abnormalities. DMO might have a counteracting effects on glucose-insulin homeostasis and lipid metabolic abnormalities, which suggests that regular measure of various metabolic parameters and drug monitoring on both OLA and DMO are recommended in OLA-treated patients with schizophrenia.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Although a relationship between schizophrenia (SCZ), antipsychotic (AP) medication, and metabolic dysregulation is now well established, the effect of adiposity is less well understood. By synthesizing findings from imaging techniques that measure adiposity, our systematic review and meta-analysis (PROSPERO CRD42020192977) aims to determine the adiposity-related effects of illness and treatment in this patient population. METHODS We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, PsychINFO and Scopus for all relevant case-control and prospective longitudinal studies from inception until February 2021. Measures of adiposity including percent body fat (%BF), subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT), and visceral adipose tissue (VAT) were analyzed as primary outcomes. RESULTS Our search identified 29 articles that used imaging methods to quantify adiposity among patients with SCZ spectrum disorders. Analyses revealed that patients have greater %BF (mean difference (MD) = 3.09%; 95% CI: 0.75-5.44), SAT (MD = 24.29 cm2 ; 95% CI: 2.97-45.61) and VAT (MD = 33.73 cm2 , 95% CI: 4.19-63.27) compared to healthy controls. AP treatment was found to increase SAT (MD = 31.98 cm2 ; 95% CI: 11.33-52.64) and VAT (MD = 16.30 cm2 ; 95% CI: 8.17-24.44) with no effect on %BF. However, change in %BF was higher for AP-free/AP-naïve patients compared to treated patients. CONCLUSION Our findings indicate that patients with SCZ spectrum disorders have greater adiposity than healthy controls, which is increased by AP treatment. Young, AP-naïve patients may be particularly susceptible to this effect. Future studies should explore the effect of specific APs on adiposity and its relation to overall metabolic health.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Obesity and adverse metabolic outcomes in patients with severe mental illness are clinically significant but potentially preventable. Importantly, the evidence for switching to antipsychotics to reduce cardiometabolic burden is unclear. METHOD PubMED, Embase, PsycINFO, and Cochrane were searched from inception to March 8, 2020. Articles reporting weight and metabolic changes after antipsychotic switching vs staying on the previous antipsychotic were meta-analyzed both across and within group. RESULTS Of 61 identified studies, 59 were meta-analyzed (40% rated high quality). In the switch-vs-stay pairwise meta-analyses, only aripiprazole significantly reduced weight (-5.52 kg, 95% CI -10.63, -0.42, P = .03), while olanzapine significantly increased weight (2.46 kg, 95% CI 0.34, 4.57, P = .02). Switching to aripiprazole also significantly improved fasting glucose (-3.99 mg/dl, 95% CI -7.34, -0.64, P = .02) and triglycerides (-31.03 mg/dl, 95% CI -48.73, -13.34, P = .0001). Dropout and psychosis ratings did not differ between switch and stay groups for aripiprazole and olanzapine. In before-to-after switch meta-analyses, aripiprazole (-1.96 kg, 95% CI -3.07, -0.85, P < .001) and ziprasidone (-2.22 kg, 95% CI -3.84, -0.60, P = .007) were associated with weight loss, whereas olanzapine (2.71 kg, 95% CI 1.87, 3.55, P < .001), and clozapine (2.80 kg, 95% CI 0.26, 5.34, P = .03) were associated with weight gain. No significant weight or other cardiometabolic changes were observed when switching to amisulpride, paliperidone/risperidone, quetiapine, or lurasidone. CONCLUSIONS Switching antipsychotics to agents with lower weight gain potential, notably to aripiprazole and ziprasidone, can improve weight profile and other cardiometabolic outcomes. When choosing switch agents, both the weight gain potential of the pre- and post-switch antipsychotic must be considered. Antipsychotic switching in psychiatrically stable patients must be weighed against the risk of psychiatric worsening.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE A plethora of data deriving from single studies as well as meta-analyses demonstrates that weight gain is associated with the exposure to the majority of antipsychotics (AP). However, potential sex differences have widely evaded the attention of AP treatment trials. It is hypothesised that female patients gain more weight compared with male patients due to their enhanced susceptibility to adverse drug reactions. METHOD A meta-analysis was conducted using clinical trials of AP that reported weight change separately for female and male patients. Duration of AP use was stratified in four categories: <6 weeks, 6-16 weeks, 16-38 weeks and >38 weeks. Forest plots were generated for men and women separately, stratified by AP as well as by duration of use. Sex differences were tested by performing meta-regression. RESULTS Data of 26 studies were used in the present analysis because sufficient data were available only for olanzapine, risperidone and the no-medication group. Both female and male patients showed considerable weight gain after switch or initiate of olanzapine or risperidone, but meta-regression analyses did not show significant sex differences. CONCLUSION The present meta-analysis revealed that sex differences in AP-related weight gain have been under investigated hampering the detection of sex-specific patterns. In chronic patients switching to olanzapine or risperidone receiving short-or middle-term treatment, AP were associated with weight gain in both sex subgroups and no significant differences were reported.

Abstract
PURPOSE Chronic, low-grade inflammation is a proposed etiological factor associated with schizophrenia. Thus, various studies have been conducted to understand the role of inflammatory process in schizophrenia by using inflammatory maker C-reactive protein (CRP) with conflicting findings. Inadvertently, studies of CRP among the Indian schizophrenia patients are very few. Therefore, the present study was undertaken to investigate the role of inflammatory process among Indian Bengalee schizophrenia patients of Siliguri, using the marker CRP and its stimulating cytokine interleukin-6 (IL-6). In addition, the study also intended to investigate the immunomodulatory effect of antipsychotic medication on serum levels of CRP and IL-6. MATERIALS AND METHODS The serum levels of CRP and IL-6 were measured by Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) among 67 antipsychotic medicating, 28 psychotropic medication-free schizophrenia patients, and it was compared with 72 age, sex and ethnicity-matched controls. RESULTS A significantly higher level of CRP and IL-6 were recorded among the antipsychotic medicating patients. Although CRP was found to be higher among the psychotropic medication-free patients than the controls, it was not found to be significant. However, a significantly higher level of IL-6 was observed in this group. CONCLUSIONS The results provide the evidence for a possible immunomodulatory effect of antipsychotic drugs on CRP. Future investigations including the study of antipsychotics separately may help to understand the differential effects of individual antipsychotics on CRP level. Additional studies with a larger sample size of psychotropic medication-free patients may help to verify the role of inflammation in schizophrenia patients of this region.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Antipsychotics (APs) are associated with metabolic syndrome, with increases in leptin proposed as an underlying mechanism of AP-induced weight gain. Currently available meta-analyses on this topic have limited their populations of interest to those diagnosed with schizophrenia. The purpose of this meta-analysis is to explore the relationship between leptin levels and AP use across multiple psychiatric diagnoses, and also in healthy controls. METHOD Systematic electronic searches were conducted using PubMed and OVID: Medline. Longitudinal studies were included if showing leptin levels before and after AP use. We included participants with any psychiatric disorders and mentally healthy participants, if exposed to AP use. The differences in leptin levels were evaluated using Hedges' g with a random effects model. RESULTS Forty-two studies were found (36 schizophrenia, 2 bipolar disorder, 1 anorexia nervosa, and 3 healthy controls), encompassing 66 study arms and 1,156 participants. The meta-analysis showed that regardless of diagnoses, leptin levels increase with AP use (Hedges' g = 0.811, p ≤ .001). CONCLUSION Leptin increases induced by APs are present across all diagnoses. More comprehensive research is needed to understand the relationship between AP use and leptin levels across multiple diagnoses.

Abstract
Schizophrenia is a highly heritable, chronic, severe, disabling neurodevelopmental brain disorder with a heterogeneous genetic and neurobiological background, which is still poorly understood. To allow better diagnostic procedures and therapeutic strategies in schizophrenia patients, use of easy accessible biomarkers is suggested. The most frequently used biomarkers in schizophrenia are those associated with the neuroimmune and neuroendocrine system, metabolism, different neurotransmitter systems and neurotrophic factors. However, there are still no validated and reliable biomarkers in clinical use for schizophrenia. This review will address potential biomarkers in schizophrenia. It will discuss biomarkers in schizophrenia and propose the use of specific blood-based panels that will include a set of markers associated with immune processes, metabolic disorders, and neuroendocrine/neurotrophin/neurotransmitter alterations. The combination of different markers, or complex multi-marker panels, might help in the discrimination of patients with different underlying pathologies and in the better classification of the more homogenous groups. Therefore, the development of the diagnostic, prognostic and theranostic biomarkers is an urgent and an unmet need in psychiatry, with the aim of improving diagnosis, therapy monitoring, prediction of treatment outcome and focus on the personal medicine approach in order to improve the quality of life in patients with schizophrenia and decrease health costs worldwide.

C-reactive protein is increased in schizophrenia but is not altered by antipsychotics: meta-analysis and implications. Mol Psychiatry 2016; 21:554-64.

Abstract
The inflammatory hypothesis of schizophrenia (SZ) posits that inflammatory processes and neural-immune interactions are involved in its pathogenesis, and may underpin some of its neurobiological correlates. SZ is the psychiatric disorder causing the most severe burden of illness, not just owing to its psychiatric impairment, but also owing to its significant medical comorbidity. C-reactive protein (CRP) is a commonly used biomarker of systemic inflammation worldwide. There are some conflicting results regarding the behaviour of CRP in SZ. The aims of this study were to verify whether peripheral CRP levels are indeed increased in SZ, whether different classes of antipsychotics divergently modulate CRP levels and whether its levels are correlated with positive and negative symptomatology. With that in mind, we performed a meta-analysis of all cross-sectional studies of serum and plasma CRP levels in SZ compared to healthy subjects. In addition, we evaluated longitudinal studies on CRP levels before and after antipsychotic use. Our meta-analyses of CRP in SZ included a total of 26 cross-sectional or longitudinal studies comprising 85 000 participants. CRP levels were moderately increased in persons with SZ regardless of the use of antipsychotics and did not change between the first episode of psychosis and with progression of SZ (g=0.66, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) 0.43 to 0.88, P<0.001, 24 between-group comparisons, n=82 962). The extent of the increase in peripheral CRP levels paralleled the increase in severity of positive symptoms, but was unrelated to the severity of negative symptoms. CRP levels were also aligned with an increased body mass index. Conversely, higher age correlated with a smaller difference in CRP levels between persons with SZ and controls. Furthermore, CRP levels did not increase after initiation of antipsychotic medication notwithstanding whether these were typical or atypical antipsychotics (g=0.01, 95% CI -0.20 to 0.22, P=0.803, 8 within-group comparisons, n=713). In summary, our study provides further evidence of the inflammatory hypothesis of SZ. Whether there is a causal relationship between higher CRP levels and the development of SZ and aggravation of psychotic symptoms, or whether they are solely a marker of systemic low-grade inflammation in SZ, remains to be clarified.

Abstract
There is an impression in the literature that schizophrenia is associated with increased inflammation, including abnormal blood levels of the acute phase reactant C-reactive protein (CRP). We performed a meta-analysis of blood CRP levels to estimate the overall effect size, as well as a pooled analysis of the prevalence of an elevated CRP level in patients with schizophrenia and related disorders. We identified articles by searching PubMed, PsycInfo, and ISI, and the reference lists of identified studies. Eight studies met the inclusion criteria for the meta-analysis, and five studies were included in the pooled analysis. CRP levels were significantly increased in patients compared to controls (effect size=0.45, 95% confidence interval 0.34-0.55, p<0.001). There was a 28% prevalence of an elevated CRP level in patients with schizophrenia and related disorders. Our results support a growing body of literature that schizophrenia is associated with increased inflammation, although many studies did not control for potential confounding factors such as BMI and smoking. Given the high prevalence of elevated CRP, metabolic syndrome, and premature cardiovascular mortality, our findings also suggest that measurement of blood CRP levels may be germane to the clinical care of patients with schizophrenia and related disorders.

Abstract
Over the years, schizophrenia is speculated to be associated with immune or inflammatory reactions mediated by cytokines. It is proposed that chronic inflammation might damage the micro-vascular system of brain and hamper cerebral blood flow. Scientific evidence suggests that an increase of stress hormone like norepinephrine may activate the inflammatory arm of the immune system and trigger the expression of genes that cause chronic, low-grade inflammation. Thus, studies were conducted to decipher the potentiality of CRP as a marker for inflammation in schizophrenia. This article reviews the findings of CRP in schizophrenia, and the limitations of the previous studies have been discussed. The importance of simultaneous study of CRP modulating cytokines and CRP gene polymorphism in the study of serum or plasma level of CRP has been emphasized.

Abstract
Introduction Antipsychotics (AP) induce weight gain. However, reviews and meta-analyses generally are restricted to second generation antipsychotics (SGA) and do not stratify for duration of AP use. It is hypothesised that patients gain more weight if duration of AP use is longer. Method A meta-analysis was conducted of clinical trials of AP that reported weight change. Outcome measures were body weight change, change in BMI and clinically relevant weight change (7% weight gain or loss). Duration of AP-use was stratified as follows: ≤6 weeks, 6–16 weeks, 16–38 weeks and >38 weeks. Forest plots stratified by AP as well as by duration of use were generated and results were summarised in figures. Results 307 articles met inclusion criteria. The majority were AP switch studies. Almost all AP showed a degree of weight gain after prolonged use, except for amisulpride, aripiprazole and ziprasidone, for which prolonged exposure resulted in negligible weight change. The level of weight gain per AP varied from discrete to severe. Contrary to expectations, switch of AP did not result in weight loss for amisulpride, aripiprazole or ziprasidone. In AP-naive patients, weight gain was much more pronounced for all AP. Conclusion Given prolonged exposure, virtually all AP are associated with weight gain. The rational of switching AP to achieve weight reduction may be overrated. In AP-naive patients, weight gain is more pronounced.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Schizophrenia is associated with the activation of the immune/inflammatory system. C-reactive protein (CRP), a positive acute phase protein, may be associated with schizophrenia and antipsychotic treatment. METHODS The serum high-sensitivity CRP (hsCRP) levels of 36 schizophrenic patients undergoing clozapine, olanzapine or risperidone treatment and 36 sex-matched healthy subjects were collected. The difference in hsCRP levels between the schizophrenic and the control groups was estimated using ancova. anova was performed to examine the differences in the hsCRP levels between three antipsychotic groups (clozapine, olanzapine and risperidone). RESULTS ancova adjusted for age and body mass index (BMI) revealed a significant increase in the hsCRP levels in the schizophrenic group (1.4 mg/L, SD =1.5 mg/L) in comparison with the control group (0.9 mg/L, SD = 1.4 mg/L) (P = 0.013). anova revealed no statistical difference of age, BMI and hsCRP in three antipsychotic groups (P = 0.83, 0.90 and 0.71, respectively). DISCUSSION The elevation of CRP level is seen in chronic schizophrenia under antipsychotic treatment; however, studies with a larger sample size are required to confirm these results.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The underlying mechanism for second-generation antipsychotic (SGA)-related glucose-lipid metabolic dysfunction is not fully understood. Recent studies have suggested a possible impact of SGAs on endocrine regulation, especially on adipocytokines. We examined the effect of each SGA on various adipocytokines in normal fasting glucose (NFG) subjects. METHOD The study population comprised 113 Japanese inpatients with schizophrenia who were treated with olanzapine, risperidone, or quetiapine, and 123 healthy control (CONT) volunteers. All of the subjects were diagnosed with NFG. Plasma concentration of adiponectin, leptin, tumor necrosis factor α, total cholesterol, triglyceride, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol were compared between the SGA and CONT groups. RESULTS Second-generation antipsychotic subjects had significantly higher leptin levels in comparison to the CONT subjects. The plasma concentration of adiponectin, total cholesterol, and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol in the SGA subjects were significantly lower than those in the CONT subjects. There were no significant differences in tumor necrosis factor α, triglyceride, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels between the 2 groups. In a stepwise multiple regression analysis, olanzapine was found to be a factor that contributed to decreased adiponectin levels, and the CONT subjects were detected to be a factor associated with lower leptin levels. CONCLUSIONS The present study indicates the possibility that the administration of SGAs may affect adipocytokines in the NFG stage, excluding the impaired fasting glucose group, which is in the transition stage into diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
Prescriptions for second-generation antipsychotics (SGAs) have surpassed those for first-generation agents in the treatment of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. While SGAs have the benefit of a much reduced risk of causing movement disorders, they have been associated with weight gain and metabolic effects. These adverse reactions are not uncommon, and threaten to have a significant impact on the patient's health over the long-term treatment that the patient requires. Currently, the aetiology of these effects is not known. This article reviews the data exploring the weight gain phenomenon. The literature was reviewed from searches of PubMed and the references of major articles in the field. The SGAs present a heterogeneous risk for weight gain. In addition, different individuals receiving the same drug can exhibit substantially different weight changes. This pattern suggests that a group of factors are associated with the weight gain phenomenon rather than a single mechanism. Coupled with the genetic profile that the patient brings to the treatment, the risk for SGA-induced weight gain will be different for different drugs and different individuals. Targets for exploration of the weight gain phenomenon include receptor interactions involving serotonin, histamine, dopamine, adrenergic, cannabinoid and muscarinic receptors. The association of SGA-induced weight gain and the role of orexigenic and anorexigenic peptides are reviewed. Also, a brief discussion of genetic factors associated with SGA-induced weight gain is presented, including that of the serotonin 5-HT(2C) receptor gene (HTR2C) and the cannabinoid 1 receptor gene (CNR1). The most promising data associated with SGA-induced weight gain include investigations of the histamine H(1), 5-HT(2A), 5-HT(2C), muscarinic M(3) and adrenergic receptors. In addition, work in the genetic area promises to result in a better understanding of the variation in risk associated with different individuals.

Abstract
Despite the growing research interest in the role of immunological markers in schizophrenia, few studies, with conflicting results, have focused on the association between high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) levels and clinical characteristics in schizophrenia. In this cross-sectional case-control study, a sample of 200 antipsychotic-free male Egyptian schizophrenia patients was assessed by the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) and compared with 200 healthy controls as regards serum hs-CRP level using an immunoturbidimetric method. CRP level for patients (geometric mean=3.3 mg/L) was significantly (P=0.000) higher than that for controls (geometric mean=1.4 mg/L). PANSS scores and patients' data, which significantly correlated with serum hs-CRP level, were entered into a stepwise multiple regression analysis. Results of this analysis showed that PANSS negative symptom score was second only to the waist circumference, with which they explained 54.7 % of the variation in serum hs-CRP. Comparable results were obtained when patients, controls and the relevant confounders were included in one multivariate analysis. We concluded that in Egyptian men, waist circumference and schizophrenia diagnosis are strong predictors of raised CRP level independent of a number of potentially confounding variables. In antipsychotic-free patients, CRP level is higher than in healthy controls and is positively correlated with the severity of the psychopathology as measured by PANSS. This relationship is especially notable in negative, but not positive symptoms.

Abstract
C-reactive protein (CRP) is an inflammatory marker associated with obesity, insulin resistance, and cardiovascular disease. A recent study found CRP levels to be higher in individuals treated with certain antipsychotic medications such as olanzapine; however, it is not clear whether this is associated directly with drug intake or indirectly with drug-associated weight gain and insulin resistance. The objective of this study was to explore the potential predictors of CRP including insulin resistance, components of the metabolic syndrome, psychiatric diagnosis, and antipsychotic medication in patients treated with antipsychotics. Sixty-four outpatients without diabetes being treated with a single second generation antipsychotic medication had direct measurements of insulin resistance at the end of a 180-min infusion of glucose, insulin, and octreotide (insulin suppression test) as well as components of the metabolic syndrome. Insulin resistance was the strongest predictor of CRP (r=0.52, P<0.001). When adjusted for insulin resistance, there was no significant relationship between CRP and any of the components of the metabolic syndrome criteria, specific drug treatment or psychiatric diagnoses. In conclusion, insulin resistance is strongly associated with CRP levels and likely contributes to earlier associations between CRP and certain antipsychotic treatments.

Abstract
This chapter has carried out a review of the literature and combined this with the results of in-house studies to identify candidate blood-based biomarkers for schizophrenia and antipsychotic drug response. Literature searches retrieved 185 publications describing a total of 273 schizophrenia biomarkers identified in serum and/or plasma. Examination of seven in-house multicenter studies resulted in the identification of 137 serum/plasma biomarkers. Taken together, the findings suggested an ongoing immunological and inflammatory process in schizophrenia. This was accompanied by altered cortisol levels which suggested activated stress response and altered hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis function in these patients. The authors conclude that such biomarkers may prove useful as additional parameters for characterizing specific immune and/or metabolic or hormonal subsystems in schizophrenia and might, therefore, facilitate the development of future patient stratification and personalized medicine strategies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The role of leptin in atypical antipsychotic-induced metabolic dysfunction was explored by assessing the anthropometric and metabolic profile and the response to metformin (MET) of clozapine- (CLZ) treated schizophrenia patients according to their single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the leptin promoter (LEP2548/GA) and leptin receptor (LEPR Q223R) genes. METHODS Phase 1. Body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, serum glucose, HbA1C, lipids, leptin, cortisol, insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR), metabolic syndrome and the frequencies of SNPs were assessed in 56 CLZ-treated patients (78.6% males). Phase 2. Fifty two phase 1 subjects were randomly assigned to MET XR (n=23) (1000 mg/day) or placebo (n=29) for 14 weeks. Changes in anthropometric and biochemical variables were compared between the SNPs. RESULTS Phase 1. The QQ group displayed the lowest triglyceride levels (p<0.05). No other significant difference was observed. Phase 2. Change in anthropometric variables did not differ between the genotypes in any treatment group. After MET, glucose levels significantly increased in the GG group (p<0.05), whereas the HOMA-IR and the low density cholesterol significantly decreased in the QQ- but not in the (QR+RR) group (p<0.05). No differences were observed after placebo. CONCLUSIONS BW response to CLZ was not related to LEP- and LEPR-SNPs. The GG and (QR+RR) genotypes showed an unexpectedly opposite and blunted response to MET administration respectively.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE As the use of atypical antipsychotics in children and adolescents has increased, concerns have been raised about their long-term safety. We aimed to investigate the association between risperidone-induced weight gain, leptin concentration, and the leptin gene (LEP) -2548G/A variants in youths. METHODS Medically healthy 7- to 17-year-old children and adolescents, in extended naturalistic treatment with risperidone, were recruited through pediatric psychiatry clinics. Anthropometric measures and laboratory testing were conducted. Growth and medication history was obtained from the medical record. The effect of the LEP genotypes on leptin concentration and on the slopes of the weight and body mass index (BMI) Z-score curves before and after the onset of risperidone treatment was investigated . RESULTS In 74 individuals, chronically treated with risperidone, the A allele was associated with higher leptin concentration at low weight and BMI Z-scores. There was no effect of the LEP genotypes on weight or BMI Z-scores before risperidone was started. Afterwards, however, the A-allele carriers showed a steeper rate of increase in weight and BMI Z-scores. As a result, the GG-genotype carriers were 2.5 times less likely to be overweight/obese (i.e. having a BMI above the 85th percentile). This genetic effect on risperidone-associated weight gain did not extend to weight loss related to psychostimulants. CONCLUSION The LEP - 2548G/A variants seem to moderate the weight-altering effect of risperidone but not psychostimulants. This may be related to genetic differences in tissue sensitivity to leptin, resulting in differential body composition.

Abstract
The article critically reviews selected, clinically significant, adverse endocrine and metabolic effects associated with psychotropic drug treatments, including hyperprolactinaemia, hyponatraemia, diabetes insipidus, hypothyroidism, hyperparathyroidism, sexual dysfunction and virilization, weight loss, weight gain and metabolic syndrome (type 2 diabetes mellitus, dyslipidaemia and hypertension). Such effects are prevalent and complex, but can be managed clinically when recognized. They encourage continued critical assessment of benefits versus risks of psychotropic drugs and underscore the importance of close coordination of psychiatric and general medical care to improve long-term health of psychiatric patients. Options for management of hyperprolactinaemia include lowering doses, switching to agents such as aripiprazole, clozapine or quetiapine, managing associated osteoporosis, carefully considering the use of dopamine receptor agonists and ruling out stress, oral contraceptive use and hypothyroidism as contributing factors. Disorders of water homeostasis may include syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone (SIADH), managed by water restriction or slow replacement by hypertonic saline along with drug discontinuation. Safe management of diabetes insipidus, commonly associated with lithium, involves switching mood stabilizer and consideration of potassium-sparing diuretics. Clinical hypothyroidism may be a more useful marker than absolute cut-offs of hormone values, and may be associated with quetiapine, antidepressant and lithium use, and managed by thyroxine replacement. Hyper-parathyroidism requires comprehensive medical evaluation for occult tumours. Hypocalcaemia, along with multiple other psychiatric and medical causes, may result in decreased bone density and require evaluation and management. Strategies for reducing sexual dysfunction with psychotropics remain largely unsatisfactory. Finally, management strategies for obesity and metabolic syndrome are reviewed in light of the recent expert guidelines, including risk assessment and treatments, such as monoamine transport inhibitors, anticonvulsants and cannabinoid receptor antagonists, as well as lifestyle changes.

Abstract
CONTEXT The health burden of antipsychotic medication is well known, but the disproportionate effect on women as compared with men is underappreciated. OBJECTIVE The goal of this article is preventive--to better inform clinicians so that the risks to women and to their offspring can be diminished. METHOD All PubMed sources in which the search term gender (or sex) was linked to a side effect of antipsychotic medication were reviewed. RESULT There is general agreement in the literature on women's increased susceptibility to weight gain, diabetes, and specific cardiovascular risks of antipsychotics, with less consensus on malignancy risks and risks to the fetus. Cardiovascular death, to which men are more susceptible than women, is disproportionately increased in women by the use of antipsychotics. Sedating antipsychotics raise the risk of embolic phenomena during pregnancy, and postpartum. Prolactin-elevating drugs suppress gonadal hormone secretion and may enhance autoimmune proclivity. CONCLUSIONS Clinicians need to be aware of the differential harm that women (and their offspring) can incur from the side effects of antipsychotics.

Abstract
Schizophrenia may be associated with inflammatory reactions and C-reactive protein (CRP) is a nonspecific serum protein marker for persisting inflammatory states. This study aimed to assess concentrations of high sensitivity CRP (hsCRP) in schizophrenic Arab patients and evaluate the relationships of hsCRP levels with aspects of clinical phenotypes of the disease. Two age-matched groups of subjects were studied: (1) healthy controls, HC, n=165; (2) patients with schizophrenia, SZ: n=207. Each subject was evaluated with a standard questionnaire for age at disease onset, family history, disease severity and outcome. Serum hsCRP levels were measured by immunoassay. The two groups of subjects were similar in age, ethnic composition and socioeconomic status. Those with SZ had significantly greater serum concentrations of hsCRP. There were significant associations between hsCRP and (i) age in both groups; (ii) body mass index (BMI) in HC but not in SZ. In the latter, hsCRP levels were: (a) marginally higher in women with later age of disease onset; (ii) highest with remission and with catatonic features; and (iii) lower with family history of psychosis. The study concludes that serum levels of hsCRP are increased in clinically stable Arab patients with schizophrenia and appear related to the disorder's clinical expression. It is suggested that there may be an inflammatory component to schizophrenia which is associated with aspects of its clinical phenotype.

Abstract
The prevalence of overweight and obesity is higher in people with mental illness than in the general population. Body weight is tightly regulated by a complex system involving the cortex and limbic system, the hypothalamus and the gastrointestinal tract. While there are justifiable concerns about the weight gain associated with antipsychotic medication, it is too simplistic to ascribe all obesity in people with serious mental illness (SMI) to their drug treatment. The development of obesity in SMI results from the complex interaction of the genotype and environment of the person with mental illness, the mental illness itself and antipsychotic medication. There are dysfunctional reward mechanisms in SMI that may contribute to poor food choices and overeating. While it is clear that antipsychotics have profound effects to stimulate appetite, no one receptor interaction provides an adequate explanation for this effect, and many mechanisms are likely to be involved. The complexity of the system regulating body weight allows us to start to understand why some individuals appear much more prone to weight gain and obesity than others.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Dyslipidemia independent of body mass has previously been reported in humans after antipsychotic treatment. The present study investigated the levels of several metabolic regulatory hormones in psychiatric outpatients treated with different antipsychotics under real-life conditions. METHODS The study included cross-sectional data from 234 subjects on stable monotherapy with any of the following: olanzapine (n = 72), any other antipsychotic (n = 80), or no medications (n = 82). Groups were well matched for sex, body mass index (BMI), ethnicity, and smoking. After adjustment for differences in age and illness duration, groups were compared for the insulin resistance index (homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance) and fasting concentrations of glucose, lipids, insulin, sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), adiponectin, leptin, and cortisol. Correlations were examined between serum olanzapine and hormonal levels, and between leptin concentrations and BMI in both sexes. RESULTS Significant intergroup differences in concentrations of insulin (P = 0.025), SHBG (P = 0.001), adiponectin (P = 0.017), and cortisol (P = 0.003) but no significant difference for homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (P = 0.051) were found, independent of body mass. Olanzapine-treated subjects had the highest insulin concentrations and the lowest SHBG, adiponectin, and cortisol concentrations. Olanzapine-treated female subjects had significantly higher leptin (P = 0.005) and lower SHBG (P = 0.023) concentrations than other subjects. In female subjects, serum olanzapine concentrations were correlated with hormonal levels, and a significant proportion of olanzapine-treated female subjects had abnormal correlations between serum leptin levels and BMI. CONCLUSIONS Alterations in several interrelated metabolic hormonal markers were associated with olanzapine treatment, independent of body mass, particularly in female subjects.

Abstract
Energy homeostasis is achieved by the integration of peripheral metabolic signals by the neural circuits involving specific hypothalamic nuclei and brain stem regions. These neural circuits mediate many of the effects of the adipocyte-derived hormone leptin and gut-derived hormone ghrelin. The former is strongly anorexigenic while the latter is the only orexigenic agent active when administered by a peripheral route. Abnormal regulation of these 2 antagonistic regulatory peptides in patients with schizophrenia could play a role in the impairment in the regulation of food intake and energy balance. This bibliographical analysis aims to compare 27 prospective and cross-sectional studies published on circulating leptin and ghrelin levels during acute and chronic administration of antipsychotics treatment, especially atypical ones. Fasting morning leptin levels of schizophrenic patients increase rapidly in the first 2 weeks after atypical antipsychotic (AAP) treatment (mostly olanzapine and clozapine) and remain somehow elevated after that period up to several months. On the contrary, conventional antipsychotics (such as haloperidol) do not interfere with leptin levels. In contrast to leptin, fasting morning ghrelin levels decrease during the first few weeks after the beginning of AAPs treatment while they increase in the longer run. Surprisingly, body weight gain and correlations between the variation of these 2 peptides and adiposity and metabolism-related parameters such as the body mass index and abdominal perimeter were not systematically considered. Finally, an objective evaluation of feeding behavior during antipsychotic treatment remains to be determined.

Abstract
There has been an increasing interest in the role of the immune and inflammatory systems in mood disorders. Mood episodes are associated with changes in acute phase proteins such as high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP). The present study investigated serum hsCRP in manic, depressed, and euthymic BD patients as compared to matched healthy controls. Serum hsCRP was assessed using an ultrasensitive assay of particle-enhanced immunoturbidimetric latex agglutination. Serum hsCRP levels were increased in manic BD patients, as compared to euthymic, depressed patients and healthy controls (P < 0.001). These findings add to the notion that changes in the inflammatory system take place during acute episodes of mania.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Clinical studies suggest that the second generation antipsychotics (APs) clozapine and olanzapine and to a lesser extent the typical antipsychotics may be associated with a procoagulant and proinflammatory state that promotes venous thromboembolism. We evaluated here several blood factors associated with coagulation and inflammation in AP-treated schizophrenia patients and their first-degree relatives. METHODS Procoagulant factors (fibrinogen and plasminogen activator inhibitor [PAI-1]), the anticoagulant factor antithrombin III [AT-III], and inflammation-related factors (C-reactive protein [CRP] and leptin) were assessed in patients chronically treated with clozapine (n=29), olanzapine (n=29), typical APs (n=30) and first degree relatives of clozapine (n=23) and olanzapine subjects (n=11). RESULTS The typical AP group had the highest CRP level (p=0.013) in spite of having the lowest body mass index (BMI). Patients as a single group had higher CRP levels than relatives (p=0.003). The typical AP group also had the highest AT-III levels (p=0.021). Fibrinogen levels did not differ between the groups (p=0.13). Olanzapine patients displayed the highest PAI-1 and leptin levels among the drug-treated subjects, but values were similar to those observed in their relatives, and were significantly correlated with the BMI. CONCLUSIONS A homogeneous negative profile of high inflammation and procoagulant factors along with low levels of anticoagulants was not detected in any group. While preliminary, our results suggest that the observed abnormalities were not related to a direct drug effect, but to elevated BMI (high PAI-1 and leptin in olanzapine-treated patients). We speculate that the high CRP in the typical AP group might be related to poor lifestyle habits, but this must we confirmed in future studies.

Abstract
The second generation antipsychotic drugs, such as risperidone, olanzapine, and quetiapine, are effective in treating patients with schizophrenia and have been considered as the first line therapy. Recently, increasing attention has been drawn to the potential diabetogenic effect of these novel antipsychotics. The goal of this study was to evaluate the effect of metformin treatment on the olanzapine-induced metabolic disturbance in schizophrenic patients. Twenty-four schizophrenic subjects who had received olanzapine treatment at least 3 months were assigned to the therapy with metformin 1500 mg/day for 8 weeks. The metabolic parameters were quantitatively assessed at baseline, weeks 2, 4, and 8 by using the intravenous glucose tolerance test. After an 8-week treatment with metformin, the body weight, fasting levels of glucose, triglyceride, and insulin, insulin secretion, and insulin resistance significantly decreased. Half of study subjects with metabolic syndrome obtained improvement after the metformin trial. Subjects' psychopathological condition remained unchanged during the study period. The olanzapine-induced metabolic disturbance could be reversed after 8-week metformin treatment. Based on the results of this study, we hypothesize that metformin could modulate the effect of olanzapine-induced metabolic disturbance.

Abstract
The aim of the present paper was to describe the mechanisms and management of antipsychotic-induced weight gain in schizophrenia patients. A comprehensive literature review of all available articles on the mechanisms and management of antipsychotic-induced weight gain was done by searching databases PsychINFO and PubMed. A summary of the available guidelines for monitoring of antipsychotic-induced weight gain and metabolic syndrome is also provided. There has been a substantial increase in the number of studies investigating the mechanisms and management of antipsychotic-induced weight gain after 2002. These include advances in the understanding of pharmacogenomics of weight gain and several randomized controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating pharmacological and psychological treatments to promote weight loss. The most effective strategy for prevention of weight gain is the choice of antipsychotic medication with low weight gain potential. In individuals with established weight gain and metabolic issues, switching to an antipsychotic agent with lower weight gain potential and/or lifestyle modifications with physical activity are most effective in promoting weight loss. Pharmacological agents such as orlistat and sibutramine are effective in general obesity but have not been sufficiently evaluated in antipsychotic-induced weight gain. The case to prescribe routine pharmacological treatment to promote weight loss is weak. Long-term, pragmatic studies are required to inform clinical practice. Weight gain in schizophrenia is associated with significant physical and psychological morbidity. Achieving an optimal trade-off between effectiveness and side-effects of antipsychotic agents, although difficult, is achievable. This should be based on three main principles: (i) a shared decision-making model between the patient, clinician and carer(s) when choosing an antipsychotic; (ii) a commitment to baseline and follow-up monitoring with explicit identification of the responsible individual or team; and (iii) the adoption of clear structured protocols for clinicians to follow in case of clinically significant weight gain and metabolic issues, which should incorporate greater collaboration between various health professionals from psychiatric and medical specialist services.
