Summary
The effect of chlorpromazine [2-chlor (3-dimethylamino-3′-propyl) 10-phenothiazin] on the glycogen content and the level of the reducing substances has been studied in the rat brain during acute and chronic experiments.
The single dose of 0,35 mg/100 g chlorpromazine given intraperitoneally elevates the level of the reducing substances significantly, while the glycogen content remains unchanged.
After the treatment for two weeks with the dosage of 0,10 mg/100 g per day results a significant increase in the level of the reducing substances and an unchanged quantity of glycogen.
After the treatment for 4 weeks, the level of the reducing substances decreases significantly; at the same time the glycogen content raises above the control value significantly.
