Abstract excerpt
Possible involvement of oxidative stress in the pathophysiology of tardive dyskinesia (TD) has been proposed. Long-term administration of neuroleptics alters dopaminergic turnover, yielding the increase of the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which may lead to TD through neuronal toxicity as a consequence of oxidative stress. In the present study, the relationship between TD and a polymorphism of the...
