  • Title: Correlates of lateral ventricular size in chronic schizophrenia, II: biological measures.
    Author: Losonczy MF, Song IS, Mohs RC, Mathé AA, Davidson M, Davis BM, Davis KL.
    Journal: Am J Psychiatry; 1986 Sep; 143(9):1113-8. PubMed ID: 2428259.
    Abstract:
    CSF homovanillic acid levels showed a significant negative correlation with ventricle-brain ratios (VBRs) in a group of drug-free chronic schizophrenic male veterans, while CSF 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid levels showed a similar, nearly significant trend. The response of plasma human growth hormone to 0.75 mg of apomorphine also demonstrated a significant negative correlation with VBR in this group, but other measures of central neurotransmitter activity were unrelated to ventricular size.
