Summary

This project aims to a) evaluate the effects of selected antipsychotic medications on insulin action in skeletal muscle (glucose disposal), liver (glucose production) and adipose tissue (whole-body lipolysis), b) evaluate the effects of selected antipsychotic medications on abdominal adipose tissue mass, total body fat and total fat-free mass, and c) explore the longitudinal effects of treatment with selected antipsychotics on glucose tolerance, lipid profiles, abdominal adipose tissue mass, total body fat and total fat-free mass. These hypotheses will be evaluated by measuring 1) whole-body glucose and lipid kinetics with the use of "gold-standard" stable isotope tracer methodology, 2) body composition using dual energy x-ray absorptiometry and magnetic resonance imaging, and 3) longitudinal changes in glucose tolerance and lipid profiles. The aims will be addressed in non-diabetic schizophrenia patients chronically treated with risperidone, olanzapine, clozapine, quetiapine, ziprasidone, or haloperidol, and untreated healthy controls. Re-evaluations will also be performed in patients who are randomized to switch from their current antipsychotic (from the above groups) to risperidone, olanzapine, quetiapine, or ziprasidone for 6 months. Relevant data is critically needed to target basic research, identify long-term cardiovascular consequences, and plan therapeutic interventions.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Aged 18-60 years
  • Patients: otherwise healthy and meets DSM-IV criteria for schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder, any type, treated with haloperidol, olanzapine, clozapine, quetiapine, ziprasidone, aripiprazole, or risperidone for at least 3 months
  • Controls: healthy
  • Able to give informed consent
  • No antipsychotic medication changes for 3 months, and no other medication changes for 2 weeks prior to Baseline Evaluations.

Exclusion Criteria

  • Axis I psychiatric disorder criteria met in self except for substance use disorders as below
  • Patients and controls: meets DSM-IV criteria for the diagnoses of substance abuse within the past 3 months
  • Involuntary legal status (as per Missouri law)
  • The presence of any serious medical disorder that may confound the assessment of relevant biologic measures or diagnosis, including: significant organ system dysfunction, metabolic diseases, type 1 diabetes mellitus, symptomatic type 2 diabetes mellitus (see below), pregnancy, endocrine disease, coagulopathy, clinically significant anemia, that would preclude blood sampling (as determined by the PI) or acute infection;
  • Patients taking more than one atypical antipsychotic medication;
  • Subjects taking certain prescription medications (as determined by PI on a case by case basis).
