Résumé : Oxidative stress has been intensively studied as a key biochemical system in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. However, little is known about the implication of oxidative stress in the development of physical illnesses in schizophrenia patients, who are characterized by high cardiovascular risk and decreased life expectancy. Advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) are considered to be markers of oxidative stress and are linked to the development of atherosclerosis.
