Summary
Schizophrenia is a severe chronic and disabling mental disorder and is associated with a
significant reduction in life expectancy. Atypical antipsychotic treatment compliance may be
jeopardized because of drug induced weight gain and abnormalities in carbohydrate and lipid
metabolism.
Aim: to gain data on drug related effects on gene expression and regulation with special
regard to glucose metabolism.
