Abstract

In schizophrenic depressive patients the cytochemical investigation of blood leukocytes revealed the decreased glycogen content as compared with healthy subjects. The activity of some oxidation-reduction and carbohydrate-energy metabolism enzymes was also changed. These cytochemical indices were close to normal levels in patients with circular depression pattern at the pronounced remission stage. These indices can be used in laboratory tests assessing the degree of psychic deterioration.
