Abstract |
An investigation was conducted into whether dopamine induces an alteration in the fucolysation of glycoproteins, starting from the dopamine hypothesis of schizophrenia and taking the fucokinase activity determined in erythrocytes of schizophrenic patients as parameter. As with patients with "schizoaffective psychosis" and those with manic- depressive disorders, who were likewise examined, it was found that the enzyme activity of schizophrenic patients was no different than that found in the blood of a control group.
