To date, quantitative analyses of body fat content along with key adipokines have not been reported for patients treated with antipsychotics. Thus, in the groups of schizophrenia patients with antipsychotic treatment and age- and body mass index (BMI) matched healthy controls, we report abdominal and liver fat content by MRI and 1H MRS, plasma levels of leptin and adiponectin, and their associations. As a result, liver fat content was inversely correlated with adiponectin levels in age- and BMI- matched controls (r=-0.873, p=0.0004), but not in the patients. In both groups, visceral fat was inversely correlated with adiponectin, while subcutaneous fat was positively correlated with leptin levels.
