We propose to implement a pilot study to estimate the effects sizes (for change in triglycerides, change in non-HDL-cholesterol, and change in CRP) of added metformin, added simvastatin, or added metformin and simvastatin, versus added no intervention in 120 newly-admitted, acutely psychotic, recently un-medicated patients with schizophrenia over 4 weeks of prospective treatment with olanzapine. We will also compare these patients (baseline values, in the not recently medicated state) to 40 age, race, and gender matched control subjects on fasting triglycerides, non-HDL-cholesterol, and CRP levels.
