Schizo: Dopamine Activity
Description
Twenty-five patients with schizophrenia were classified as psychotic
or nonpsychotic after being treated with an antipsychotic drug.
Samples of cerebral fluid were taken from each patient and assayed
for dopamine b-hydroxylase (DBH) activity. The dopamine measurements
for the two groups are in nmol/(ml)(h)/(mg) of protein.source
