Oxidative stress and schizophrenia: A comparative cross‐sectional study of multiple oxidative markers in patients and their first‐degree relatives

Abstract

OS biomarkers increased significantly in the peripheral blood of SCZ patients compared with other groups indicates the presence of OS in the aetiology of the disease. Mid-levels of oxidative markers found in FDRs imply that unaffected first-degree relatives have an increased risk for turning up to the clinical presentation stage.
