aminolevulinic acid and Psychotic Disorders

aminolevulinic acid has been researched along with Psychotic Disorders in 3 studies

Aminolevulinic Acid: A compound produced from succinyl-CoA and GLYCINE as an intermediate in heme synthesis. It is used as a PHOTOCHEMOTHERAPY for actinic KERATOSIS.
5-aminolevulinic acid : The simplest delta-amino acid in which the hydrogens at the gamma position are replaced by an oxo group. It is metabolised to protoporphyrin IX, a photoactive compound which accumulates in the skin. Used (in the form of the hydrochloride salt)in combination with blue light illumination for the treatment of minimally to moderately thick actinic keratosis of the face or scalp.

Psychotic Disorders: Disorders in which there is a loss of ego boundaries or a gross impairment in reality testing with delusions or prominent hallucinations. (From DSM-IV, 1994)

"It was investigated whether an increased demand for glycine, as postulated to occur in patients who have suffered from episodic psychoses accompanied by multiple perceptual distortions, could evoke psychotic reactions."3.66Serine and glycine-induced catalepsy in porphyric rats: an animal model for psychosis? ( Bruinvels, J; Pepplinkhuizen, L; Schouten, MJ; Wilson, JH, 1983)
"Catalepsy was used as a measure for psychosis and was observed after injection of serine or glycine in porphyric rats."1.27Serine and glycine-induced catalepsy in porphyric rats: an animal model for psychosis? ( Bruinvels, J; Pepplinkhuizen, L; Schouten, MJ; Wilson, JH, 1983)
