Abstract
The apomorphine-induced growth hormone (GH) response of 16 drug-free schizophrenic patients and nine control subjects were studied. The sub-group of nine patients with poor premorbid psychosocial functioning had a significantly lower GH response than the controls. Additional evidence for state dependent effects is provided.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
