Investigations into Glutamic Acid Metabolism in Schizophrenics
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 08 February 2018
Extract
Earlier investigations (3, 4) have shown an abnormal glutamic acid metabolism in schizophrenic patients.
These changes are, briefly, low glutamic acid level (and high glutamine level) especially in acute cases. Glutamic acid concentrations below 1.2 milli grams per 100 ml. venous blood were ascertained in most of these patients.
