[Autonomic disorders in persons with asthenic syndrome and their correction with citrulline malate].

The paper presents the results of the investigation of psychoautonomic correlations in 15 patients with psychogenic asthenia. Spilberg's and Beck's tests as well as autonomic questionnaire were used for the psychologic testing. Sympathic-parasympathic correlations were investigated by means of cardiovascular tests, by evoked skin sympathetic potentials, variability of cardiac rhythm under conditions of different functional states. The patients had mild anxious-depressive and pronounced autonomic disorders with prevalence of cerebral sympathic-adrenal impacts, elevation of vagal influences in cardiovascular system, mediatory insufficiency of the sympathic sweating nerves and a decrease of the adaptive abilities of the regulatory systems. To correct the asthenic manifestations citrullin malate (stimol), a metabolic corrector produced by "Laboratories BIOCODEX" (France) was used. Stimol relieves psychoautonomic disorders by increasing both power capacities of the cells and synthesis of biologically active substances.
