The predictive potential and relationship of peripheral non-enzymatic antioxidants with clinical symptoms in first-episode male adolescent-onset schizophrenia patients

Key Points

• The research aims to explore the relationship between peripheral non-enzymatic antioxidants and clinical symptoms in first-episode schizophrenia in male adolescents.
• Examined levels of non-enzymatic antioxidants (ALB, TBIL, UA) in male adolescents with schizophrenia.
• Analyzed clinical manifestations associated with oxidative stress.
• Compared antioxidant levels to symptom severity.
• Found significant associations between antioxidant levels and clinical symptoms.
• Identified ALB and TBIL as potential biomarkers for oxidative stress in schizophrenia.
• Noted that relationships were particularly strong in male adolescents.
