The effect of risperidone and quetiapine on reproductive hormone levels,bone mineral density and body mass index in female patients with schizophrenia
This study compared risperidone and quetiapine effects on reproductive hormones, bone density, and BMI in female schizophrenia patients, finding distinct hormonal impacts but similar bone mineral density outcomes.

This randomized controlled trial evaluated the impact of risperidone versus quetiapine on reproductive hormones, bone mineral density, and body mass index in eighty first-episode female patients with schizophrenia over a twelve-month period. The study found that risperidone treatment resulted in significantly higher prolactin levels and lower estradiol concentrations compared to quetiapine, while also leading to reduced lumbar spine bone mineral density. Furthermore, changes in bone mineral density in the risperidone group were negatively correlated with prolactin increases and positively correlated with estradiol changes, whereas no such hormonal correlations were observed in the quetiapine group. Relevance to endometriosis: listed as one indication for GnRH antagonists, though the paper's main focus is uterine fibroids.
