[Morphology of the endocrine system in schizophrenia according to early autopsy findings (the hypophyseal-thyroid system)].
The paper is concerned with the results of a study on the morpho-functional state of the thyroid gland and hypophysis. The research material was obtained during the period of 20 min.--5 hours post mortem. Irrespective of the type of the course of schizophrenia it was characterized by signs of deterioration in the functional activity of the thyroid gland. However, it was established that the morphological picture can also be changed under the influence of acutely developing diseases, previous to death. In these cases the morphological picture corresponds to the sufficiently expressed activation of the glands (according to the type of stress-reactions). The author comes to the conclusion of certain functional traits in the morphological changes found in the thyroid gland and hypophysis in schizophrenia.
