Adenylate-cyclase activity in platelets of patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder
Marazziti D et al. - Although the main biological hypothesis on the pathophysiology of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is centered on the serotonin system, indications are available that other neurotransmitters, and even second messengers, particularly the cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) signaling, may be involved, though effective data are few.
