[Effect of climatic exposure and physical activity on plasma cortisol levels and urinary 17-hydroxycorticosteroid excretion in patients with hypertension]. 1976

I Angelov, and V Goranova, and V Ankov, and N Kolebinov

Decrease in arterial pressure, mainly manifested in the first 5-10 days, was established in 111 patients with hypertension disease in functional and initial organic stage in the conditions of moderately high mountain (1870 m above sea level) after 25/20 days of complex climatic treatment including: active motor regimen, sun-air exposure and Pevzner diet No 10. Simultaneously the excretion of 17-hydroxicorticosteroids was increased in daily urine. Suprarenal cortex stimulation is best manifested after the first week and is kept till the end of the treatment. Cortisol plasma level was elevated in 42.7 per cent of the patients with hypertension disease with initial values under 15 mkg/100 ml plasma after three hours moderately severe physical activity, carried out in physiological thermal conditions and was decreased with 25.9 per cent with initial levels over 20 mkg/100 ml plasma. Parallely, 17-hydroxicoricosteroids secretion in urine was decreased as well as the systolic and diastolic arterial pressure.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D006973 Hypertension Persistently high systemic arterial BLOOD PRESSURE. Based on multiple readings (BLOOD PRESSURE DETERMINATION), hypertension is currently defined as when SYSTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently greater than 140 mm Hg or when DIASTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently 90 mm Hg or more. Blood Pressure, High,Blood Pressures, High,High Blood Pressure,High Blood Pressures
D008297 Male Males
D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D005082 Physical Exertion Expenditure of energy during PHYSICAL ACTIVITY. Intensity of exertion may be measured by rate of OXYGEN CONSUMPTION; HEAT produced, or HEART RATE. Perceived exertion, a psychological measure of exertion, is included. Physical Effort,Effort, Physical,Efforts, Physical,Exertion, Physical,Exertions, Physical,Physical Efforts,Physical Exertions
D005260 Female Females
D006801 Humans Members of the species Homo sapiens. Homo sapiens,Man (Taxonomy),Human,Man, Modern,Modern Man
D006854 Hydrocortisone The main glucocorticoid secreted by the ADRENAL CORTEX. Its synthetic counterpart is used, either as an injection or topically, in the treatment of inflammation, allergy, collagen diseases, asthma, adrenocortical deficiency, shock, and some neoplastic conditions.

D000302 Adrenal Cortex The outer layer of the adrenal gland. It is derived from MESODERM and comprised of three zones (outer ZONA GLOMERULOSA, middle ZONA FASCICULATA, and inner ZONA RETICULARIS) with each producing various steroids preferentially, such as ALDOSTERONE; HYDROCORTISONE; DEHYDROEPIANDROSTERONE; and ANDROSTENEDIONE. Adrenal cortex function is regulated by pituitary ADRENOCORTICOTROPIN. Cortex, Adrenal
D000311 Adrenal Glands A pair of glands located at the cranial pole of each of the two KIDNEYS. Each adrenal gland is composed of two distinct endocrine tissues with separate embryonic origins, the ADRENAL CORTEX producing STEROIDS and the ADRENAL MEDULLA producing NEUROTRANSMITTERS. Adrenal Gland,Gland, Adrenal,Glands, Adrenal
D000328 Adult A person having attained full growth or maturity. Adults are of 19 through 44 years of age. For a person between 19 and 24 years of age, YOUNG ADULT is available. Adults
