Combined glyoxalase 1 dysfunction and vitamin B6 deficiency in a schizophrenia model system causes mitochondrial dysfunction in the prefrontal cortex

Methylglyoxal (MG) is a reactive and cytotoxic α-dicarbonyl byproduct of glycolysis. Our bodies have several bio-defense systems to detoxify MG, including an enzymatic system by glyoxalase (GLO) 1 and GLO2. We identified a subtype of schizophrenia patients with novel mutations in the GLO1 gene that...
