A neuroendocrine overview of aging.
The neuroendocrine changes associated with aging are numerous, and tend to vary quantitatively, if not qualitatively between species. The extent to which neuroendocrine dysfunction contributes to the undesirable features of aging remains to be fully determined. Nevertheless, although the aging process itself may not have a neuroendocrine basis, identification and correction of the associated neuroendocrine dysfunction may be important in enhancing the quality of life during this period.
