Abstract:Polyamine metabolism plays an important role in a variety of cellular functions in the central nervous system and other organs. More and more studies have shown that polyamine metabolism is closely related to the pathological changes of schizophrenia. In patients with schizophrenia and in animal models of the disease, it has been confirmed that there are changes in the polyamines, their precursors, derivatives, metabolic enzymes and expression of related genes. This article reviews the research progress of polyamine metabolism in schizophrenia, in order to provide a new idea for schizophrenia treatment targeting polyamine metabolism.
