[Endocrine function of the epiphysis in disorders of cerebral circulation (morphological study)]
Abstract:
In a quantitative morphological study of the epiphyses from 56 patients whose death was related to various types of cerebral circulation disorders the authors have specified the characteristics of the endocrine function of this organ in each of the pathological types studied, with the status of the merocrine and "emergency" holocrine secretion of the epiphysis being assessed separately. The authors consider the possible significance of the identified epiphysis dysfunction in the development and course of cerebrovascular diseases and outline possible types of involvement of the epiphysis in their pathogenesis.
