“…Ross, Hudson, Erlich, Warsh, and Kish (1997) demonstrated that contradictory findings in previous reports (Hudson, Gotowiec, Seeman, Warsh, & Ross, 1999;Ross et al, 1997;Gattaz et al, 1995;Albers, Meurer, Marki, & Klotz, 1993;Noponen et al, 1993;Gattaz et al, 1990;Gattaz, Kollisch, Thuren, Virtanen, & Kinnunen, 1987) could be explained by different PLA2 assays used (the negative studies used an assay based on bacterial antibodies). In keeping with reductions of membrane AA in schizophrenia, an increased calcium-independent PLA2 activity has also been demonstrated in post mortem brain tissue of the temporal cortex of patients with schizophrenia (Ross, Turenne, Moszczynska, Warsh, & Kish, 1999).…”
