Abstract

Similar changes in the functioning of the adrenal glands (activation of cortisol synthesis due to a more complete utilization of its biochemical precursors and reduced formation of dehydroepiandrosterone and its sulfate fraction) are demonstrated in men and monkeys in hemoblastoses and during aging. It is assumed that being adaptive and nonspecific in nature, these changes lead to hormonal imbalance promoting the development of senile involution processes in patients and animals with severe chronic disease.
