Group-Dependent Associations Between Plasma Adiponectin and Hippocampal Subregional Volumes in Schizophrenia.
INTRODUCTION Leptin and adiponectin are adipose-derived hormones that cross the blood-brain barrier and modulate hippocampal plasticity, neurogenesis, and inflammatory signaling. Dysregulated adipokine signaling may provide a biological link between systemic metabolic disturbances and hippocampal vulnerability in schiz...
