Article Synopsis
- Schizophrenia and similar brain disorders are linked to oxidative stress, with reduced levels of the antioxidant glutathione (GSH) being a common finding.
- Researchers are investigating the use of sulforaphane, a natural compound, which has been shown to boost GSH levels in the blood and possibly the brain in healthy subjects.
- A study found a significant connection between blood and brain GSH levels after sulforaphane treatment, suggesting it may be beneficial for addressing oxidative stress in neuropsychiatric conditions.
Atypical antipsychotic medications, such as risperidone, aripiprazole, and olanzapine, have utility in treating motor tics, particularly in Tourette syndrome. In rare cases, atypical antipsychotic medications have been associated with adult-onset motor tics. Such adverse drug reactions have been documented in response to quetiapine, aripiprazole, and amisulpride.
