Childhood psychosis and urinary excretion of peptides and protein-associated peptide complexes.

摘要: Twenty-four infantile autistic children were compared with 12 other kinds of childhood psychoses, 5 so-called minimal brain dysfunction syndrome, attention deficit disorder, 14 mental retardation, and 19 normal regard to chromatographic profiles urinary products that give ultraviolet absorbency at 280 nm. Six main types patterns emerged. Fifty-four percent the 17% psychoses showed a distinct pattern was not seen in any cases. Only 8% "normal" 95% 93% mentally retarded without psychosis. The peaks chromatograms possibly correspond peptides protein-associated peptide complexes. It is argued these are probably least partly CNS origin.
