GROWTH OF BIOLOGICAL MARKERS OF AGING AND ALLOSTASIS IN VETERANS OF THE AFGHAN WAR CONFLICT WITH EARLY FORMS OF CHRONIC BRAIN ISCHEMIA
Abstract
We investigated the rate of biological aging, the levels of stress hormones and regulatory cytokines in Afghan war veterans and civilians with early forms of chronic brain ischemia. The study established acceleration of aging according to biological age indicators, earlier clinical onset of early forms of chronic cerebrovascular diseases associated with the processes of posttraumatic disregulation of cerebral and systemic vascular tone, the accumulation of "allostatic load” in the form of hypercortisolemia, growth regulator and angiogenic cytokines in veterans of the Afghan conflict.
