Abstract
We investigated the possible relationship between schizophrenia, neuroleptic treatment, and platelet monoamine oxidase (MAO) activity. Platelet MAO activity was similar in neuroleptic-naive schizophrenic patients and healthy controls and was not affected by chronic (10-week) perphenazine treatment. A relationship between platelet MAO activity and central disturbances in schizophrenia remains uncertain.
