Abstract
Cerebrospinal fluid levels of dopamine beta-hydroxylase, found to be relatively constant over time in individual patients, were significantly lower in schizophrenic patients who became nonpsychotic during neuroleptic treatment than in those who remained psychotic. Dopamine beta-hydroxylase activity may delineate a subgroup of patients who have a dopamine-sensitive brain disorder.Entities:
