Memory deficits and neurochemical changes induced by C-reactive protein in rats: implication in Alzheimer's disease.

abstract：:Twelve healthy chronic schizophrenic patients were treated with the long-acting oral dopamine (DA) receptor blocker penfluridol (100 mg orally) for 6 weeks. Plasma prolactin (PRL) levels were measured during insulin-tolerance tests (ITT) performed at the end of the drug-free period (7-10 days) and during weeks 1 and 6...
