Integrated Metabolic Perspectives on Schizophrenia: Roles of Cortisol Ratios, Vitamin D-Dopamine Dynamics, Serotonin, and Niacinamide Deficiency

2025-08-28

Abstract excerpt

Schizophrenia is a complex psychiatric disorder traditionally attributed to genetic and dopaminergic imbalances, but emerging evidence points to metabolic and environmental factors as key drivers. This paper synthesizes recent studies highlighting the roles of elevated cortisol ratios (cortisol/DHEA and cortisol/testosterone), vitamin D deficiency leading to low dopamine, serotonin excess, and dietary niacinamide...
