Childhood Trauma is Associated With Redox Ratio in Healthy Controls but Not in Patients With Psychotic Disorders

Abstract

Studies have implicated childhood trauma (CT) as a risk factor for psychotic disorders, and recent reports have linked CT to elevations in markers of oxidative stress in patient and healthy samples. Moreover, redox ratio imbalance has been implicated in psychotic disorders. This study examined the relationship between CT and redox ratio measured by 31P magnetic resonance spectroscopy in patients with psychotic disorders and healthy controls.
