Abstract excerpt
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),...
