Platelet serotonin concentration in schizophrenic patients
T Kolakowska and SG Molyneux
Platelet serotonin (5-HT) concentration did not significantly differ
between control subjects (N = 45) and schizophrenic (N = 62) or chronic
schizophrenic (N = 39) patients. No clinical feature was associated with
hyperserotonemia, but the subgroup receiving benzodiazepines had a
significantly higher 5-HT level than other patients.
