This study measured high energy metabolite ratios and CK and ATP metabolic reaction rate in visual cortex of SZ patients and HCs. The forward rate constant hence ATP production flux through CK enzyme was significantly lower in SZ patients when compared to age/sex matched controls. We did not observe abnormalities in metabolite concentration. Impaired CK reaction may underlie abnormal neuro function and information processing in SZ.
