Logistic regression models using age, sex, smoking status, glutamine, glutamate, glycine, l-serine, d-serine, homocysteine, and NRDC as independent variables revealed significantly lower plasma d-serine (p = 0.024) and NRDC (p = 0.028), but significantly higher l-serine (p = 0.024) and homocysteine (p = 0.001) in patients with schizophrenia. Here, NRDC is linked to schizophrenia.
