Abstract
Abstract We could not detect in the sweat of schizophrenic patients trans-3-methyl-2-hexenoic acid, a compound which has been described as causing an odour peculiar to such patients. Artifacts derived from polyethylene bags in which sweat has been collected, and from ether used to extract sweat, can seriously interfere with gas Chromatographic analyses of odouros substances in human sweat.
