Plasma tryptophan tolerance curves in drug free normal controls, schizophrenic patients and prisoner volunteers.
A DISTURBANCE in indole metabolism, particularly 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) and its metabolites, has been proposed in various psychiatric disorders. These include schizophreniale6 and mental depression.7-g Large oral tryptophan (TP) loads given with a monoamine oxidase inhibitor exacerbate some of the symptoms of schizophrenics but also produce central nervous system effects in non-psychotic pa...

The inability to determine which schizophrenic patients do not require maintenance medication is a significant gap in current knowledge. This report describes 23 largely chronic DSM-III schizophrenic patients who, after a period of inpatient treatment, sustained good outcome without maintenance antipsychotic medication over an average of 15 years. Retrospective study of these patients revealed ...
متن کاملDecreased T Cell Response to Mitogen and Increased Anti-cytoplasmic Antibody in Drug-Free Schizophrenic Patients
Background: Apart from genetic and environmental factors, activation of autoreactive mechanisms has been proposed to play a role in the pathogenesis of schizophrenia. In re-cent years, considerable work has been carried out to understand the role and contribution of the immune system in this disease. Objective: To investigate the T cell response to phytohaemagglutinin (PHA) and determine the se...
متن کاملPlatelet serotonin content and free and total plasma tryptophan in healthy volunteers during 24 hours.
The determination of platelet serotonin (5-HT) and plasma tryptophan concentrations is useful in the diagnosis, investigation of etiologies, and treatment of psychiatric disorders. To determine the usual circadian variations in platelet 5-HT and free and total tryptophan concentrations, we measured these variables during 24 h at 1-h intervals and every 30 min from 2000 to 0800 in seven clinical...
متن کاملA comparison of implicit memory tests in schizophrenic patients and normal controls.
The objective of the current study was to compare the performance of schizophrenic patients and normal controls on implicit memory tests. Two neuropsychological tasks were administered to 29 patients and normal participant samples. The implicit tests were: Word fragment completion and Word production from semantic categories. The priming score was the variable of interest. Priming effects are o...
