[Endocrine-genotoxic switchings as promoter of main noninfectious diseases].
Peculiarities of the incidence and spread of main non-infectious diseases (MNID) are in one or another way connected with the conception of "normal" and "successful" aging. The age-related increase in the frequency of MNID, associated with estrogen deficiency or excess, can be explained by the presence of estrogen effect switching phenomenon. The increase in the genotoxic effect of estrogens, isolated or combined with the weakening of the hormonal effect, can worsen the clinical course of MNID (including malignant tumors of hormone-dependent tissues). The effects of two other endocrine-genotoxic switchings (the joker function of glucose and adipogenotoxicosis) may realize in the same direction. The three mentioned phenomena form the so called basic triad, separate elements of which can interact. Endocrine-genotoxic switchings and their inductors are targets for prophylactic measures and, possibly, therapeutic ones. Both approaches may be divided into several groups with different points of application, whereas their ultimate goal is optimal balance between hormonal and DNA-damaging effects of estrogens, glucose, and adipose tissue-associated factors.
