Effects of chronic antipsychotic drug exposure on the expression of Translocator Protein and inflammatory markers in rat adipose tissue

Converging lines of evidence from genetics, post-mortem neuropathology, neuroimaging and peripheral biomarker studies suggest that at least a sub-set of patients with schizophrenia have elevated peripheral and central inflammation (Baumeister et al., 2014; Mondelli et al., 2017). Whether antipsychotic drug treatment has a confounding effect on these data remains controversial (Cotel et al., 2015; Baumeister et al., 2016).
