title: [Aging and the endocrine system].
abstract: Blood pressure is maintained for preventing from the progression of damage of central nervous system. Endocrine system plays important roles in the prevention from the damage through the functional deviation. Hypertension is one of the results of the endocrinological deviation. Although the hypertension induced by the endocrinological deviation is a risk for the progression of metabolic syndrome, it is important in the maintaining activity of central nervous system.
