title: [Characteristics of the ACTH-adrenal cortex system in women of reproductive age after ovariectomy].
abstract: The examination of the function of the ACTH-adrenal cortex system in females of reproductive age following ovariectomy revealed certain hormonal relationships in terms of the clinical course of the disease: in persistent autonomic vascular and psychoemotional disorders there was a reduction or an increase in blood levels of ACTH (depending on the presence or absence of hypertension), cortisol and a decrease in blood testosterone levels, whereas in regression of the disorders there was a decrease in ACTH and cortisol and an elevation of testosterone levels. The development of the postcastration syndrome is likely to depend on the function and response of the ACTH-adrenal cortex system to a definite extent.
