Assessment of serum level of total glutathione in a sample of schizophrenic patients versus bipolar patients

Conclusion: This preliminary study detects low levels of serum GSH in both schizophrenic and bipolar patients compared with controls. Thus, total GSH seems to play a role in the pathophysiology of these disorders and it may be considered an important indirect biomarker for the oxidative stress theory in these patients for further studies and investigation in a large group sample.
