  • Title: CSF phenylacetic acid and hostility in paranoid schizophrenia.
    Author: Faull KF, King RJ, Barchas JD, Csernansky JG.
    Journal: Psychiatry Res; 1989 Nov; 30(2):111-8. PubMed ID: 2616681.
    Abstract:
    Lumbar cerebrospinal fluid concentrations of phenylacetic acid were significantly elevated in paranoid vs. nonparanoid schizophrenics. Further, phenylacetic acid concentrations were correlated with hostility. These results are consistent with the hypothesis that phenylethylamine, the proposed precursor of phenylacetic acid, plays a role in schizophrenia.
