Figure 5. Expression of GAD67 mRNA correlated with suicide and nicotine exposure in human DLPFC.

The y-axis represents the expression of GAD1 full length transcript encoding GAD67 in DLPFC of patients with schizophrenia. Each black dot represents a subject. A: GAD67 mRNA expression in DLPFC between completed suicide and death by natural causes in schizophrenia patients. The x-axis represents the schizophrenia patients with or without completed suicide. B: GAD67 mRNA expression in DLPFC between nicotine positive and nicotine free schizophrenia patients on toxicology testing. The x-axis represents the schizophrenia patients with or without nicotine exposure based on toxicology testing. “Schizo” represents patients with schizophrenia.
