Abstract:
The endocrine system with the normal aging is characterized by a progressive loss of reserve capacity,resulting in a decreased ability to adapt to environmental demands.This loss of homeostatic regulation reflects important alterations in hormonal synthesis,metabolism,and action.However,these changes may have no significant clinical manifestations,especially under non-stress conditions.This review discusses the endocrine system in the elderly in general.
