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.
12例急性精神病性分裂情感障碍患者的24小时尿苯乙酸水平较高(240.3±51.9毫克/天),16例急性精神病性精神分裂症患者的24小时尿苯乙酸水平较低(53.6±15.1毫克/天)。这些结果表明这两种急性精神病之间存在生化差异,并提示苯丙氨酸代谢存在改变。
