[Hypophyseal-thyroid system function in patients with nonspecific lung diseases who participated in the cleanup of the aftermath of the accident at the Chernobyl Atomic Electric Power Station].
A comparative evaluation was done of the condition of the hypophyseal-thyroid axis in those patients with unspecific pulmonary diseases having taken part in the elimination of the aftermath of the ChNPP accident in 1986-1988, as well as patients with no particular prior history and essentially healthy subjects. With the thyroxin content tending downwards, the main differences manifested themselves at the level of hypophyseal control. Provision of the organism with more active forms of hormones was found to be maintained in all the cases at the physiological level.
