The metabolism of sulfur (S) compounds concurs to the maintain of cell homeostasis and tissue integrity in the human body. Sulfur chemical species act in all cells as anti-oxidant/scavenging agents or regulators of membrane stability/excitability. At the same time, they also exert tissue-dependent functions behaving as protective molecules of the liver and cardiovascular system, as modulators of the immune response, gut activity and CNS neurotransmitter signaling. The involvement of S compounds…

It is proposed that oxidative stress and the ensuing cellular adaptations are linked to the schizophrenia disease process and it is hoped that this new disease concept may advance the approach to treatment, diagnosis and disease prevention of schizophrenia and related syndromes.
