Introduction:

Reduced Glutathion Peroxidase (GSH) is a common biologic marker of antioxidant status frequently used in schizophrenic research. Data regarding GSH levels in schizophrenic patients are controversial. Our objective is to study whether or not GSH levels have seasonal or circadian fluctuations in schizophrenic outpatients.

Methods:

23 clinically stable treated chronic schizophrenic outpatients were studied in summer and winter. The same day in July and January, blood samples were extracted between 8:30 and 9:00 after one night fasting. The same routine was followed during the two experimental sessions.

Results:

GSH plasma levels were not significant different between summer and winter. There was no significant difference between nocturnal and diurnal GSH levels in neither winter nor summer.

Conclusions:

Plasma GSH does not present seasonal levels either a circadian rhythm.
