A method of predicting depressive behavior of older primates, the pace of aging and development STRESS-RELATED pathological changes

摘要

FIELD: medicine.;SUBSTANCE: invention refers to medicine and veterinary science and can be used for predicting depressive behaviour of an aged primate, rates of ageing and development of stress-dependent pathological changes. According to the claimed invention, an aged primate is examined for psychoemotional reaction on soft and acute psychoemotional stress effect, molar concentration ratio of cortisol and dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate in peripheral blood plasma and percentage concentration of cortisol in peripheral blood plasma in the evening (20 o'clock 45 minutes - 21 o'clock 15 minutes) to concentration of cortisol in peripheral blood plasma in the morning (8 o'clock 45 minutes - 9 o'clock 15 minutes) to predict depressive behaviour in the aged primate with accelerated rates of ageing and development of stress-dependent pathological changes in depressive reaction on soft and acute psychoemotional stress effect, if molar concentration ratio of cortisol and dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate in peripheral blood plasma is not less than 4.3, and concentration of cortisol in peripheral blood plasma in the evening to concentration of cortisol in peripheral blood plasma in the morning is not less than 66%.;EFFECT: ensured information value of predicting depressive behaviour in the aged primate, rates of ageing and development of stress-dependent pathological changes.;3 ex
