Psychopharmacology and ethnicity: A comparative study on Senegalese and Italian men.

CONCLUSIONS: These differences, possibly due to genetic or dietary reasons, or even to gender, might affect the response to psychopharmacological compounds. Our findings would suggest specific caution when administering psychotropic compounds to non-European individuals, and the need of further studies in this emerging field of neuropsychopharmacology.
