Elevated serum thiobarbituric acid reactive substances in clinically symptomatic schizophrenic males
Abstract
Impaired antioxidant defenses are suggested to participate in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. Altered superoxide dismutase (SOD) and increased lipid peroxidation, measured by the thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), are increased in schizophrenia. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of clinical course and subtype on oxidative stress parameters. In this study, 68 male patients, classified according to DSM-IV …
