The presentation deals with catalase activity in the whole blood and in the leukocytes of patients with nuclear schizophrenia. The catalase activity in the whole blood was higher than in normals. During insulin shock the enzyme activity both in the blood and leukocytes was significantly higher. A low catalase activity in the blood leukocytes in patients with nuclear schizophrenia may be conditioned by a drop in the aerobe respiration and oxidative phosphorilyzing of leukocyte mitochondria.
