S ummary The blood serum of schizophrenic patients differs from that of normal people and patients with a number of other mental diseases concerning its effect on glucose transformation with chicken erythrocites in the experiments in vitro causing an increase of the lactate/pyruvate coefficient. The extent of this effect is associated with the severity and duration of the schizophrenic process. A biologically active factor responsible for the described phenomenon is instable, thermolabile, and represents either a substance of a protein nature or a two‐component system consisting of a thermolabile protein carrier and an active low‐molecular compound proper.
