Previous studies suggested dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) in schizophrenia patients, but the mechanism remains unclear. Recently, the measurement of salivary alpha-amylase (sAA) has been considered a useful tool for evaluating ANS, especially the sympathoadrenal medullary system. Furthermore, there was a report that patients with schizophrenia showed much higher sAA level than normal controls.<jats:italic>Methods<\/jats:italic>. We present the case of a 51-year-old female with catatonic schizophrenia. She needed the treatment of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). We evaluated her sAA level and her psychiatric symptoms during the treatment.<jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>. Before ECT treatment, she showed high sAA level. Her sAA level decreased during the course of ECT, and this attenuation was accompanied by improvement of schizophrenic symptoms.<jats:italic>Conclusion<\/jats:italic>. We consider that measurement of the sAA level may be one of the useful biological markers for assessment of psychotic state and efficacy of treatment in patients with schizophrenia.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2012\/747104","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,10,1]],"date-time":"2012-10-01T01:42:50Z","timestamp":1349055770000},"page":"1-4","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["May Salivary Alpha-Amylase Level Be a Useful Tool for Assessment of the Severity of Schizophrenia and Evaluation of Therapy?
