Introduction: Glutamatergic dysfunction is implicated in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. It is unclear whether glutamatergic dysfunction predicts response to treatment or if antipsychotic treatment influences glutamate levels. We investigated the effect of antipsychotic treatment on glutamatergic levels in the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), and whether there is a relationship between baseline glutamatergic levels and clinical response after antipsychotic treatment in people with first episode psychosis (FEP). Materials and methods: The sample comprised 25 FEP patients; 22 completed magnetic resonance spectroscopy scans at both timepoints. Symptoms were assessed using the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS). Results: There was no significant change in glutamate [baseline 13.23 ± 2.33; follow-up 13.89 ± 1.74; t(21) = −1.158, p = 0.260], or Glx levels [baseline 19.64 ± 3.26; follow-up 19.66 ± 2.65; t(21) = −0.034, p = 0.973]. There was no significant association between glutamate or Glx levels at baseline and the change in PANSS positive (Glu r = 0.061, p = 0.777, Glx r = −0.152, p = 0.477), negative (Glu r = 0.144, p = 0.502, Glx r = 0.052, p = 0.811), general (Glu r = 0.110, p = 0.607, Glx r = −0.212, p = 0.320), or total scores (Glu r = 0.078, p = 0.719 Glx r = −0.155, p = 0.470). Conclusion: These findings indicate that treatment response is unlikely to be associated with baseline glutamatergic metabolites prior to antipsychotic treatment, and there is no major effect of antipsychotic treatment on glutamatergic metabolites in the ACC.

People with schizophrenia show higher risk for abdominal obesity than the general population, which could contribute to excess mortality. However, it is unclear whether this is driven by alterations in abdominal fat partitioning. Here, we test the hypothesis that individuals with schizophrenia show a higher proportion of visceral to total body fat measured using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We recruited 38 participants with schizophrenia and 38 healthy controls matched on age, sex, ethnicity and body mass index. We found no significant differences in body fat distribution between groups, suggesting that increased abdominal obesity in schizophrenia is not associated with altered fat distribution.

Although antipsychotics have been available for almost 70 years and greatly improved outcomes for individuals with schizophrenia, all currently available options derive their efficacy from blockade of dopaminergic receptors. However, this mechanism of action leaves many symptoms unresolved and is associated with a significant side effect burden. The mechanisms underlying schizophrenia, which were initially thought to be related to excessive presynaptic dopamine in specific areas of the brain, are now understood to be much more complex and involve structural and molecular changes throughout brain circuits. Consequently, drug discovery efforts have sought new targets in the search for safer and more effective medications that can improve symptoms of schizophrenia and psychosis, including trace amine-associated receptors (TAARs), muscarinic receptors, and serotonergic receptors. Positive phase 2 trial results indicating efficacy and safety of the TAAR1 agonist ulotaront (SEP-363856) and of the muscarinic M1/M4 agonist KarXT (xanomeline plus trospium) for total, positive, and negative symptoms in patients with acute exacerbation of schizophrenia, and of the serotonin 5-HT2A agonist/antagonist pimavanserin in patients with schizophrenia and predominant negative symptoms for negative symptom control are encouraging. Taken together, these data indicate in the context of ongoing phase 3 trial programs that patients with schizophrenia may soon have access to the first non-D2 blocking medication, which could drastically change the treatment landscape and improve outcomes for many of the individuals with schizophrenia who do not fully respond to or cannot tolerate currently available antipsychotic agents that currently all act via postsynaptic dopamine D2 receptor blockade.
