THE EFFECT OF A LONG VOYAGE CONDITIONS ON THE LEVEL OF STRESS-IMPLEMENTING HORMONES IN RIVER TRANSPORT WORKERS

Abstract: The stress-releasing hormones in river workers before and after a long voyage in Yakutia have been evaluated. We revealed a significant increase in the level of thyroid hormones (TSH, T3, T4) and testosterone, as well as a decrease in cortisol and integral thyroid index, that is indicating stress, as well as signs of depletion of adaptive mechanisms.
