Popis: Introduction Impairments in energy metabolism, glutamate neurotransmitter and antioxidant systems contribute substantially in development of schizophrenia spectrum disorders, especially in late-onset psychosis (LOP). Objectives Revealing subgroups of patients with LOP by determining activity of platelet enzymes of energy, glutamate, and glutathione metabolism. Methods 62 women of 52-89 years old were studied, with late onset schizophrenia spectrum disorders (F20.0, F25, F22.0, F06.2 by ICD-10). PANSS with its subscales was used to assess the severity of psychotic symptoms. Scores by PANSS and activity levels of platelet cytochrome c-oxidase (COX), glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH), glutathione reductase (GR) and glutathione-S-transferase (GST) were evaluated twice: before and on the 28-th day of antipsychotic treatment. Activities of COX, GDH, GR, and GST were measured in 37 women of 50-84 years old comprising the control group. Results Clustering of patients by the enzymatic activities resulted in 2 clusters (C1 and C2) significantly different by COX and GST (p
