CSF kynurenic acid and suicide risk in schizophrenia spectrum psychosis
Relationships between concentrations of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) kynurenic acid (KYNA) and suicidal behavior were evaluated in 59 patients with psychosis after 22 years of follow-up. Three patients died from suicide and nine patients had a history of attempted suicide. Patients with attempted suicide had significantly lower concentrations of CSF KYNA.
متن کاملCSF concentration gradients of monoamine metabolites in patients with hydrocephalus.
Concentration gradients of homovanillic acid (HVA), 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA), and 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylglycol (MHPG), were assessed in 762 successive CSF fractions (2 ml lumbar CSF) from 15 patients with the adult hydrocephalus syndrome (AHS) and 11 patients with hydrocephalus of other causes (mixed group). A mean volume of 49.6 (SD 11.8) ml CSF was removed in the AHS group and 5...
متن کاملChanges in Urinary Monoamine Metabolites with Antipsychotic Treatment in Schizophrenia
Objective: Monoamine neurotransmitters have been considered important mediators of schizophrenia pathology and antipsychotic drug action. This study examines the level of monoamine metabolites, homovanillic acid (HVA), 5-hydroxy indole acetic acid (5-HIAA), and vanillylmandelic acid (VMA), monoamine metabolites of major neurotransmitters dopamine, serotonin and norepinephrine, respectively in u...
متن کاملCSF monoamine metabolites and somatostatin in Alzheimer's disease and major depression.
Decreased cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), somatostatinlike immunoreactivity (SLI) and alterations in the CSF monamine metabolites 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylethylglycol (MHPG), 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA), and homovanillic acid (HVA) have been reported in patients with probable Alzheimer's disease (AD) and in patients with major depression. In this study, we found CSF SLI to be significantly l...
متن کاملAssociations between purine metabolites and monoamine neurotransmitters in first-episode psychosis
Schizophrenia (SZ) is a biochemically complex disorder characterized by widespread defects in multiple metabolic pathways whose dynamic interactions, until recently, have been difficult to examine. Rather, evidence for these alterations has been collected piecemeal, limiting the potential to inform our understanding of the interactions amongst relevant biochemical pathways. We herein review per...
