title: No differences in phospholipase-A2 activity between acute psychiatric patients and controls.
abstract: The phospholipase-A2 activity in plasma from 62 psychiatric patients admitted in an acute state to psychiatric hospital was determined by a fluorometric assay and compared to that of age- and sex-matched controls. Contrary to earlier findings, no significant differences were found between patients and controls.
