Sex differences in autonomic adverse effects related to antipsychotic treatment and associated hormone profiles.
Schizophrenia (Heidelb) 2024 January 7
Autonomic adverse effects of antipsychotic drugs (APs) cause clinical challenges, but few studies have investigated sex differences and their underlying biological pathways. Sex-specific regulation of relevant hormones could be involved. We investigated sex differences in autonomic adverse effects related to olanzapine, quetiapine, risperidone, and aripiprazole, and the role of hormones related to APs. Patients with severe mental disorders (N = 1318) were included and grouped based on AP monotherapy: olanzapine (N = 364), quetiapine (N = 211), risperidone (N = 102), aripiprazole (N = 138), and no AP (N = 503). Autonomic symptoms from the Udvalg for Kliniske Undersøgelser (UKU) side effect scale was analyzed with logistic regression, adjusting for age, diagnosis, and polypharmacy. Further, we analyzed associations between autonomic symptoms and hormones related to APs. We found associations between autonomic adverse effects and APs, with sex-specific risk for palpitations/tachycardia associated with hormonal changes related to APs. Results showed increased salivation associated with aripiprazole, reduced salivation with quetiapine, and nausea/vomiting and palpitations/tachycardia with olanzapine, and higher risk of nausea/vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, polyuria/polydipsia, and palpitations/tachycardia in females. Significant sex x AP interaction was found for palpitations/tachycardia, with higher risk in risperidone-treated males, which was associated with different hormone profiles of prolactin, cortisol, and insulin. Our findings implicate a role of several hormones in the sex-specific autonomic adverse effects related to APs.
