Abstract:

Metabolic syndrome (MS) may be caused by atypical antipsychotics (AAPs), and the possible mechanisms have not been fully revealed. Adipocytes regulate energy metabolism through release of adipocytokines. Studies have demonstrated that the impact of AAPs on adipokines is one of the potential mechanisms of drug-induced MS, and adiponectin is an important adipocytokine closely related to MS. The association between AAPs-induced MS and adiponectin is reviewed in this paper.

Key words: antipsychotics, metabolic syndrome, adipocytokines, adiponectin
