Author Affiliations

Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the main endocrine parameters in indigenous representatives (forest and tundra Nenets) and alien population residing in the district towns of the Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Okrug. The state of the thyroid level (thyrotropin, triiodothyronine, thyroxine), serum insulin concentration and the level of steroid hormones (cortisol, dehydroepiandrosterone-sulfate and testosterone) have been determined. It has been shown that these endocrine parameters as thyrotropin, thyroxine and cortisol in indigenous women are within the reference values of the norm and do not differ from those in women of middle latitudes. The endocrine status of women in indigenous and alien population is characterized with elevated values of blood triiodothyronine and insulin levels on the background of underestimated testosterone values.
