  1. Data are mean ( ± standard deviation) except sex and antipsychotic type.
  2. Group comparisons: one-way ANOVA followed by Holm-corrected t-tests, p < 0.05; The “ < ” and “ > ” signs denote significant differences between the groups, whereas the “=” sign indicates no significant between-group difference.
  3. SCZ schizophrenia, MetS metabolic syndrome, DM diabetes mellitus, IL-6 interleukin 6, CRP C-reactive protein, TG triglyceride, HDL High Density Lipoprotein, LDL Low Density Lipoprotein, FBG fasting blood glucose, HbA1c Hemoglobin A1c.
