Extract

The investigations herein set forth have been chiefly confined to the mobile tissue of the body, the blood. It is manifest that in abnormal biochemical changes affecting the organism in whole or part, this medium will be the locus, where such changes might reasonably present themselves and be detected by the means at our command. The substances therefore with which I shall be dealing are all normally present in the blood to a greater or less degree, but show marked variations under the stress of a mental breakdown. In particular I shall concentrate on lecithin, one of the phospholipins, cholesterol, belonging to the sterol group, and choline, which is classed with the animal bases.
