OBJECTIVE: Adverse metabolic effects of atypical antipsychotics have increasingly been recognized. Recently, we found that levels of insulin and triglycerides increased by increasing serum clozapine concentration in clozapine-treated patients. As these insulin and triglyceride elevations probably are drug concentration-dependent, they also would be expected to be drug metabolism-related. The genetically...
