Гендерні особливості гормону 17-гідроксипрогестерону у студентів перших курсів педагогічного університету

Abstract

У роботі було проведено скринінг рівня 17-оксипрогестерону у студентів-першокурсників Тернопільського національного педагогічного університету імені Володимира Гнатюка. Всього було обстежено 49 студентів, серед них 21 юнак і 28 дівчат. Середній показник у юнаків 1,75±0,17 (верхня границя норми 2,1), середній показник у дівчат 2,02±0,19 (верхня границя норми в лютеїнову фазу 2,3; вагітні з обстеження були виключені). Згідно наших досліджень майже третина студентів перших курсів педагогічного університету мають дисфункцію роботи кори наднирників. Причиною цього явища можуть бути як проблеми з адаптацією, так інші фактори, які потрібно уточняти в процесі наступних досліджень.

Studies of the process of adaptation of students to study at higher educational establishments have recently become particularly relevant in connection with the growth of the intensity of action and the increase in the number of factors that increase the dynamics of the relation between man and the environment and cause increased requirements for adaptation mechanisms of the individual. Permanent changes in the environment require a person of various forms of reactions that, depending on the nature of adaptation, may be more or less adequate. In an integral sense, adaptation appears to be a process that is realized through energy, psychological and intellectual mobilization of a person in accordance with the requirements of the environment. In our study, the peculiarities of the adaptation of freshmen students to study at universities are covered by studying the concentration of 17-hydroxyprogesterone. 17-oxiprogesterone levels were screened at the first-year students of Ternopil National Pedagogical University named after Volodymyr Hnatyuk. 17-hydroxyprogesterone – a steroid hormone synthesized in the adrenal cortex and gonads. This hormone is the result of the biological and chemical reactions of progesterone. In the adrenal cortex, 17-OH-progesterone is a synthesizer of one of the most important hormones in the body – cortisol. In addition, in the adrenal cortex, 17-OH-progesterone can, if necessary, be metabolized into testosterone. A total of 49 students were surveyed, including 21 youths and 28 girls. The average indicator in boys is 1.75 ± 0.17 (upper limit of norm 2.1), the average rate in girls is 2.02 ± 0.19 (the upper limit of the norm in the lutein phase is 2.3, the pregnant women were excluded from the survey). According to our research, almost one third of students of the first year of the pedagogical university have dysfunction of the adrenal cortex. The reason for this phenomenon can be both the problem of adaptation, and other factors that need to be clarified in the process of subsequent research.
