title: [Characteristics of the thyroid system in adolescents with the autonomic and vascular disfunction of the hypotensive type].
abstract: As many as 185 juveniles presenting with hypotensive type vegetative-and-vascular dysfunction (VVD), their age ranging between 11 to 14 years, were studied for functional activity of their thyroid system. The control group comprised 69 healthy children at the same age. The study made showed the VVD adolescents' hypophyseal-and-thyroid system to be compromised. High thyroid activity in the above patients was found to be the case in the presence of normal values for the thyrotropic function of the pituitary body. The revealed specificities were more manifest in VVD boys and suggest to us a compensatory reaction of the thyroid system in response to the development of circulatory hypoxia secondary to disturbances in the vegetative control of the cardiovascular system activity.
