Increased levels of serum leptin in the early stages of psychosis

[Background] Studies evaluating leptin levels in patients with first-episode psychoses (FEP) have been inconclusive, and apparently, the high levels of leptin reported in patients with schizophrenia may be associated with weight gain. The aim of this study was to evaluate leptin levels at the early stages of the disease and the relationship between leptin and lifestyle habits, stress-related variables and metabolic parameters.
