[Structuro-metabolic mechanisms for integrating several endocrine organs]

Mechanisms of integration in the neuroendocrine system in the regimens of physiological rhythm (oestral cycle) and of isolated effect upon one link of the system (metapyrone administration) were studied with the aid of qualitative histoenzymological analysis of adenohypohysis and adrenal cortex, estimating the comoplex reorganization of various structural components of adenohypophysis and adrenal cortex in response to specific depression of glycocorticoid synthesis. The role of the so called unspecific reorganization in the maintenance of functional response to isolated effects upon certain endocrine functions is discussed along with the necessity of further studies on the principles of interaction in the endocrine system using morphofunctional analysis.
