Neurosteroid hormones and psycho-emotional state of indigenous men of Yakutia

Abstract
A survey of 56 practically healthy men from among the indigenous inhabitants of Yakutia (yakuts-34, evenks-22) was carried out. The average age of men was 40.1±1.58 years. The purpose of this study was to assess the psycho-emotional state and the level of neurosteroid hormones in men of the indigenous population of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). The results of a psycho-emotional study of men showed that good psychological adaptation was noted in 64.3% (37), of which the «health» level was 28.6% (16) and optimal adaptation was 35.7% (20). Non-pathological maladaptation was detected in 16.1% (9), and severe pathological maladaptation - in 19.6% (11) (pathological mental maladjustment - 8.9% (5) and probably a disease state - 10.7% (6)). Depression (D) was absent in 35.7% (20), mild depression was noted in 17.8% (10), moderate in 28.6% (16) and severe in 17.8% (10), severe depression not identified. An analysis of the degree of aggression showed that in 42.9% (24) of the surveyed, the aggression index (IA) was normal, in 53.6% (30) it was low and in 3.6% (2) it was high. An increase in the level of neurosteroid hormones in indigenous men is a protective reaction of the body in ensuring homeostasis and adaptation to the conditions of the North. The concentration of steroid hormones in men decreases with the deterioration of the psycho-emotional state.
