摘要
The present results confirm that changes in glutamic acid decarboxylase and choline acetyltransferase activity are not a consistent finding in post-mortem brains of schizophrenics. It seems likely that difficulties in controlling factors that affect post-mortem glutamic acid decarboxylase and choline acetyltransferase activities may be responsible for some of the changes in enzyme activities found in other investigations.
