TY - JOUR PY - 2000// TI - Scyllo-inositol in post-mortem brain of bipolar, unipolar and schizophrenic patients JO - Journal of neural transmission A1 - Shapiro, Jeffrey M. A1 - Belmaker, R. H. A1 - Biegon, A. A1 - Seker, A. A1 - Agam, G. SP - 603 EP - 607 VL - 107 IS - 5 N2 - Inositol levels measured in postmortem brain of unipolar, bipolar and schizophrenic patients, suicide victims and normal controls showed no difference in scyllo-inositol levels in frontal or occipital cortex between any of the groups. We could not replicate previous reports of low myo-inositol levels in the frontal cortex of unipolar, bipolar and schizophrenic patients and suicide victims. There was no correlation between myo-inositol levels and estimated chlorpromazine equivalents in neuroleptic-treated subjects, and no effect of chronic haloperidol treatment on rat brain myo-inositol levels.
