The authors studied the catecholamine metabolism with an additional use of the function loadings by insulin and adrenalin in 77 epileptic patients who were ill for a long time and had marked disturbances in mental activity. The study was conducted in dynamics. The authors revealed a considerable activation of catecholamine metabolism in patients with acute psychotic states during dysphoria and in periods close to attacks against the background of typical, for the studied group, depression of the sympathoadrenalin system. The differences in the nature of reaction to the functional loadings, changing in various stages of the disease development and reflecting, to some extent, the compensatory possibilities of organism were registered.
作者对77例病程较长且伴有明显精神活动障碍的癫痫患者，额外采用胰岛素和肾上腺素功能负荷试验研究了儿茶酚胺代谢。研究进行了动态观察。作者发现，在烦躁不安的急性精神病状态患者以及在与发作临近阶段，在所研究组典型的交感肾上腺系统抑制背景下，儿茶酚胺代谢有相当程度的激活。记录到了在疾病发展的不同阶段对功能负荷试验反应性质的差异，这些差异在一定程度上反映了机体的代偿能力。
