Levels of dimethyltryptamine and O-methylbufotenine in cerebrospinal fluid were measured in people with acute schizophrenia and in surgical and neurological control groups. Some patients with schizophrenia showed higher levels of both amines than controls, but the differences in distribution were not statistically significant in the sample studied. The gas-chromatographic method used can detect these substances at the low picogram level.
