  • Title: High phenylacetic acid differentiates schizoaffective from schizophrenic patients.
    Author: Sabelli HC, Durai UN, Fawcett J, Javaid JI.
    Journal: J Neuropsychiatry Clin Neurosci; 1989; 1(1):37-9. PubMed ID: 2535427.
    Abstract:
    Twenty-four hour urinary phenylacetic acid was high in 12 acutely psychotic schizoaffective patients (240.3 +/- 51.9 mg/day) and low in 16 acutely psychotic schizophrenic patients (53.6 +/- 15.1 mg/day). These results indicate a biochemical difference between these two types of acute psychoses and indicate alterations in phenylalanine metabolism.
