Basal Metabolism in Mental Disease

A quantitative study of the relationship between basal metabolic rate and children's behavior problems.

“…Exercise may also have some minor influence on metabolic rate. 12 In view of these many factors disturbing normal metabolic equilibrium, one's conclusions from a study as difficult to control as the present one must be highly tentative. The most outstanding, and perhaps the most interesting, finding worthy of mention is the apparent lack of relationship between intelligence and basal metabolic rate in children manifesting behavior deviation.…”

Biochemical and Physiological Changes Associated with Schizophrenia.

“…Because the thyroid gland influences the central nervous system, numerous investigators have studied thyroid function in mental patients. In 1925, Bowman and Fry (24), reviewing the previous literature and adding some cases of their own, showed a significant decrease in the basal metabolic rate of schizophrenics. Years later, Bowman et al (25) reported a paradoxically increased uptake of I 131 by the thyroid of schizophrenics.…”

Endocrine Review: THE CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE OF THE BLOOD IODINE: A REVIEW*

“…The BMR has been used in an effort to discover any relation between mental disorders and function of the thyroid gland (200,201). However, in apprehensive or hyperkinetic patients it is most difficult to obtain accurate and reliable basal metabolic rates.…”
