title: [The action of medichronal (glucose-glycine-formate) on the serotonin blood level in alcoholism patients].
abstract: The effects of a novel antialcoholic medication medichronal on the serotonine concentration in blood of patients with second stage alcoholism was investigated. It has been discovered that remission in 75% of the patients was connected with its hyper- and hyposerotoninemic influence, depending on the initial lowered or increased serotonine content. Similarity of medichronal and unithiol effects was observed in the form of palyndromoinversion regulation of serotoninergic activity. In a portion of the patients the increased, compared to healthy persons, serotonine concentration before and after the treatment does not differ from the average values in the whole group.
