The intensity of lipid peroxidation was studied in schizophrenic and manic-depressive patients. Peroxidation was found to be activated in these diseases as assessed by the content of peroxidation products in the lipid fraction of blood plasma. Manic-depressive patients showed a significant decrease in the intensity of peroxidation processes with improvement in the clinical symptoms of the disease.
