[Detection of the neurotropic properties of the serum of schizophrenia patients].
A method of testing neurotropic properties of the serum of schizophrenic patients is proposed. This method was tested on 27 schizophrenic patients and based on experimental data. In all cases there was a narrowing of the width of the glomerular zone in the adrenal glands of rats administered the serum of schizophrenic patients intravenously. There was a significant difference in the width of the zone depending upon the stage of the disease and exacerbation, while in experiments, depending upon the presence of antibodies to brain subcommissural organs.
