现代医学认为,机体内性激素水平的高低,是衰老的发生与发展的重要因素之一。在衰老过程中,神经内分泌系统维持机体稳定的作用是逐步减退的,可导致机体的适应能力或功能贮备下降。而在神经内分泌系统中,下丘脑-垂体-性腺轴与生长、衰老的关系最为瞩目,无论是青春期的到来还是更年期的出现,无一不与生殖内分泌的变化密切相关。衰老时由于生殖激素水平的急剧变化可出现一系列临床症状,对更年期老年人采用性激素治疗,症状虽有改善。但有增加癌肿发生等付作用。尽管如此,从提高老年入神经内分泌着手,来改善老年症状一直是许多学者所追求的目标,近年来对中医理论的研究表明,中医的“肾”包括现代医学神经内分泌的部分功能
Modern medicine believes that the level of sex hormones in the body is one of the important factors for the occurrence and development of aging. During the aging process, the role of the neuroendocrine system in maintaining the body’s stability is gradually reduced, which can lead to the body’s adaptability or functional reserve decline. In the neuroendocrine system, the hypothalamus-pituitary-gonadal axis is most noticeable in relation to growth and senescence. Whether it is the arrival of adolescence or the appearance of menopause, it is closely related to changes in reproductive endocrinology. During aging, a series of clinical symptoms can occur due to drastic changes in the level of reproductive hormones. The use of sex hormone therapy for the elderly in menopause has improved symptoms. However, there are other effects such as increased cancer incidence. In spite of this, improving the elderly into the neuroendocrine to improve the symptoms of the elderly has been the goal pursued by many scholars. In recent years, studies on the theory of traditional Chinese medicine show that the “kidney” of Chinese medicine includes some functions of neuroendocrinology in modern medicine.
