Symptomatic hyperprolactinemia mimicking pituitary pathology in a child with Landau-Kleffner syndrome, autism spectrum disorder, and intellectual disability: a case report. (PubMed, J Med Case Rep)
The case shows the significance of following prolactin levels in children who are on risperidone therapy particularly those who are non-verbal or those who cannot communicate any discomfort. Clinicians are to remember that risperidone leads to hyperprolactinemia which can simulate pituitary malfunctions. Early identification, educating caregivers, and substitution of prolactin-stimulating drugs with prolactin-sparing ones like olanzapine will allow avoiding unnecessary investigations and enhancing the clinical and family outcomes.

Risperidone regulates the expression of schizophrenia-related genes in the forebrain of adult male mice. (PubMed, Front Mol Neurosci)
Together, these findings indicate that acute treatment with risperidone in male mice exerts pronounced molecular effects in medial and ventral forebrain regions with high oligodendrocyte and glial cell abundance. Moreover, enrichment analysis points to a molecular convergence between risperidone-induced transcription and genetic pathways implicated in schizophrenia.

Hepatoprotective effect of engeletin against risperidone-induced liver injury in rats involvement of TGF-β1/Smad and NF-κB pathways. (PubMed, Tissue Cell)
In addition, advanced molecular docking analysis demonstrated strong binding affinity of engeletin with the key regulatory proteins SMAD3 (-9.3 kcal/mol) and NF-κB p65 (-9.1 kcal/mol), providing strong evidence that ENG can directly interact with the central regulators of the TGF-β1/Smad and NF-κB signaling pathways. In conclusion, ENG significantly ameliorated RIS-induced hepatotoxicity, highlighting its potential as hepatoprotective adjuvant therapy.
