Figure 1. Potential mediating mechanisms linking prenatal nutrition with later schizophrenia development.

Figure 1

Prenatal nutrition may exert its influence on schizophrenia risk via a number of pathways (influencing the kinetics of one-carbon metabolism, epigenetic perturbation of the fetal epigenome or via interfering with neurodevelopment). These possible mediating mechanisms are not mutually exclusive and may be interconnected through some or all of the routes depicted.
