Abstract:Even though inflammation theory has been introduced in the pathophysiology of psychosis almost a century ago, many of its aspects have remained unelucidated. Numerous studies have shown cytokine dysregulation in schizophrenia and a predominance of proinflammatory cytokines, but on another side, various cytokines in a pro-inflammatory group have different trends in all subtypes of schizophrenia. Alterations are also present in anti-inflammatory and regulatory cytokines, but findings are still not consistent. On… Show more
“…Studies consistently indicate that stress augments inflammation markers, reinforcing the connection between stress and inflammation ( 10 , 19 , 20 ). Moreover, childhood adversity is linked with changes in immune and inflammatory responses ( 22 – 26 ), which may also involve dysregulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis ( 27 , 28 ).
