Summary
-
1.
The reducing material of spinal fluid was investigated in cases of general paresis and encephalitis lethargica.
-
2.
Spinal fluid usually contains small quantities of non-glucose reducing material.
-
3.
The non-glucose reducing material in the spinal fluid is not glutathione.
-
4.
Spinal fluid thus differs from blood where the major part of the non-glucose reducing material is represented by glutathione.
