Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effects of prolonged deloyment at sea on the serum hormone levels of the ship crew with different age and length of sea service before and after deployment at sea.Methods Serum levels of thyroxine (T4),T3 (triiodothyronine),thyroid stlmulating (TSH),adreno-cortico-tropichormone (ACTH),corticotropin-re-leasing hormone (CRH),COR (cortisol),testosterone (T) and neuropeptide Y (NPY) were detected by ELISA,and the obtained results were analyzed and compared according to age and length of service.Results When the low-age (age range between 24 and 29) group was compared with the senior age (over 30 years) group,there were 2 serum hormones in the low-age group that displayed significant changes (P ＜0.05),while there were 6 hormones in the senior age group that displayed significant changes (P ＜ 0.05).When comparisons were made between the short length of service group (from 2 to 8 years) and the long length of service group (≥9 years),there were 2 serum hormones in the shorter length of service group that displayed significant changes (P ＜ 0.05),as compared with 4 serum hormones that showed obvious changes in the longer length of service group (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Results indicated that the effects of prolonged deployment at sea on serum hormone levels on the low-age and shorter length of service group were lower than those in the senior-age and longer leigth of service group.
