Fall in Plasma Protein Level Associated With Rapid Gain in Weight During Course of Electroshock Therapy

Serum Protein Fractionation Studies on Schizophrenics

“…Altschule et al (1) reported that after undergoing electric shock treatment, those patients who showed a gain in weight and a drop in plasma proteins evidenced a clinical improvement, and that those who did not show a gain in weight and a drop in plasma proteins evidenced no such clinical improvement. These results could not be corroborated by our study.…”
