    Abstract : Schizophrenic patients have been reported to have lower concentrations of neurotensin (NT)-like immunoreactivity (-LI) in their cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) that normalize after treatment with antipsychotic drugs. Schizophrenic patients also had higher CSF concentrations of neuropeptide Y (NPY)-LI compared to controls, thus involvement of NPY in the disease has also been suggested. READ MORE
