Serum Leptin and Triglyceride Levels in Patients on Treatment With Atypical Antipsychotics

Abstract

Our results suggest that leptin may be associated with olanzapine- and clozapine-induced weight gain and that quetiapine appears to have modest influence and risperidone appears to have minimal influence on leptin and triglyceride levels and weight gain compared with olanzapine and clozapine.
