Schizophrenia, a serious hereditary disease, is a biological disorder of the brain resulting from abnormalities that arise early in life and disrupt a normal development of the brain. The chemical nature of schizophrenic brain is still not completely understood. The brain and nervous system are particularly prone to free radical damage since the membrane lipids are very rich in polyunsaturated fatty acid chains, and areas of human brain are very rich in iron, which plays an essential role in… Expand
