Amino Acids . 2013 Nov; 2(1-2):111-8. PMID: 24194278
Altered dopamine turnover has been postulated as underlying cause for schizophrenia. This is partially inferred from pharmacological studies and from changes in serum dopamine and dopamine metabolite levels. It is...

Pharmacopsychiatry . 2005 May; 38(3):113-7. PMID: 15902580
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the benefit of mirtazapine plasma concentration monitoring in a typical clinical setting. Methods: The relationship between mirtazapine plasma concentration, dose, response,...
