[Several indices of the functional state of the pituitary--adrenal cortex system in chronic alcoholism]. 1977

N S Petrov, and V E Beliaev, and V A Novitskiĭ

The adrenal cortex functional activity in males with alcoholsim of the 2nd stage (128 cases) in respect to the production of glucocorticoids and mineral-corticoids is decreased. The biosynthesis of androgens, as can be seen by the 17-KS urine excretion, is increased. Abstinence from alcohol during treatment with teturam in combination with neuroleptical drugs was accompanied by an increased elimination of glucocorticoids and a normalization of the metabolic indices of the main electrolytes. In all the examined cases of alcoholism with the 2nd stage irrespective of the duration of the disease there was an increased amount of androgens, possibly as a compensatory reaction to metabolic disturbances, due to chronic alcoholic intoxication.

D011188 Potassium An element in the alkali group of metals with an atomic symbol K, atomic number 19, and atomic weight 39.10. It is the chief cation in the intracellular fluid of muscle and other cells. Potassium ion is a strong electrolyte that plays a significant role in the regulation of fluid volume and maintenance of the WATER-ELECTROLYTE BALANCE.
D002908 Chronic Disease Diseases which have one or more of the following characteristics: they are permanent, leave residual disability, are caused by nonreversible pathological alteration, require special training of the patient for rehabilitation, or may be expected to require a long period of supervision, observation, or care (Dictionary of Health Services Management, 2d ed). For epidemiological studies chronic disease often includes HEART DISEASES; STROKE; CANCER; and diabetes (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 2).

D000437 Alcoholism A primary, chronic disease with genetic, psychosocial, and environmental factors influencing its development and manifestations. The disease is often progressive and fatal. It is characterized by impaired control over drinking, preoccupation with the drug alcohol, use of alcohol despite adverse consequences, and distortions in thinking, most notably denial. Each of these symptoms may be continuous or periodic.

D015065 17-Hydroxycorticosteroids A group of hydroxycorticosteroids bearing a hydroxy group at the 17-position. Urinary excretion of these compounds is used as an index of adrenal function. They are used systemically in the free alcohol form, but with esterification of the hydroxy groups, topical effectiveness is increased. 17 Hydroxycorticosteroids
