Figure 1 Molecular mechanisms of metabolic disorders caused by antipsychotics.
Atypical antipsychotics carry the risk of inducing both insulin secretion dysfunction due to endoplasmic reticulum response stress and insulin resistance due to histamine H1 receptor and serotonin 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 2C receptor inhibition. ERS: Endoplasmic reticulum stress; ER: Endoplasmic reticulum; 5-HT2C: 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 2C.
