[Neuroendocrine disorders at long term in persons exposed to ionizing radiation after the accident at the Chernobyl Atomic Electric Power Station].

Endocrinous and metabolism disorders were studied in the remote period in persons subjected to the effect of ionizing radiation after the Chernobyl atomic station accident. Results of the investigation revealed: disorders of the synthesis of sex hormones with small radiation doses; serotonin in increased concentration produced at the level of the hypothalamus a modulating effect on the pituitary-adrenocortical system causing its functional tension; persisting functional changes in the central regulation link--the hypothalamus.
