THE EFFECT OF TRI-IODOTHYRONINE ON ABNORMALITIES IN THE CEREBROSPINAL FLUID OF CHRONIC SCHIZOPHRENIC PATIENTS
Abstract
1. In a group of 27 chronic schizophrenics chosen randomly, abnormalities in the cerebrospinal fluid protein and gold curve were noted.
2. A statistically significant normalizing effect on these indices occurred when the patients were placed on tri-iodothyronine.
3. The relationship of the findings to thyroid function has been discussed elsewhere. Decreased metabolism is presumed to be a relating factor.
4. Further work in this area seems indicated.
