通常认为人体的内分泌功能随增龄而降低,人体激素的合成和降解在老年人趋向减退。虽然对老年人肾上腺皮质功能曾作了一些研究,但目前尚无肯定的结论,特别是醛固酮与年龄相关的材料很少,有时是不一致的。为此,我们自1984年4月以来应用放免技术测定了132名不同年龄(20～25岁)的健康人血清醛固酮的含量,并作了 Generally considered that the body’s endocrine function decreases with age, synthesis and degradation of human hormones tend to decline in the elderly. Although some studies have been done on adrenocortical function in the elderly, there is no conclusive evidence to date. In particular, aldosterone is rarely and sometimes inconsistent with age-related materials. To this end, we measured the serum aldosterone levels of 132 healthy people of different ages (20-25 years) by radioimmunoassay since April 1984 and made
