Seventy physically healthy 14-year-old adolescents, 40 boys and 30 girls, were evaluated psychologically and endocrinologically. After the psychological tests (Anxiety Score Test for Adolescents, Rosenzweig, Pictures Frustration Test for Children), subjects were divided into group A, with low anxiety/sense of guilt and high self-esteem/tolerance to frustration and group B with the opposite. In both groups, we measured basal plasma levels of noradrenaline (NE), growth hormone (GH), prolactin (PRL), melatonin (MT) and luteinizing hormone (LH) and their response to physical exercise (the Harvard step test). Basal levels of the hormones and of NE were not different in the two groups. After the physical stimulus, NE levels rose significantly more in B girls than in A and significantly less in B than in A boys. GH and PRL levels increased only in A girls and MT in B boys, while LH levels decreased in A boys and girls but not in B subjects.
对70名身体健康的14岁青少年（40名男孩和30名女孩）进行了心理和内分泌评估。在完成心理测试（青少年焦虑评分测试、罗森茨韦格儿童图片挫折测试）后，受试者被分为A组，该组焦虑/内疚感低，自尊/挫折耐受力高；以及B组，情况相反。在两组中，我们测量了去甲肾上腺素（NE）、生长激素（GH）、催乳素（PRL）、褪黑素（MT）和黄体生成素（LH）的基础血浆水平及其对体育锻炼（哈佛台阶测试）的反应。两组中激素和NE的基础水平没有差异。在身体刺激后，B组女孩的NE水平升高幅度明显大于A组，且明显低于B组男孩。GH和PRL水平仅在A组女孩中升高，MT在B组男孩中升高，而LH水平在A组男孩和女孩中降低，但在B组受试者中未降低。
