Abstract
Schizophrenic patients had a decrease in PON1 activity and perturbations in their lipid profiles that contribute to increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases. In addition, our results revealed that there was no association between the decrease of PON1 activity and any demographic or clinical characteristics. Therefore, such patients require specific care, particularly with regard to their lipid profile.
