Abstract
The paper presents the data on the investigation of cortisol, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate and testosterone concentrations in the blood serum of healthy young (up to 40 years old) and mature (over 40 years old) men, and whose professional activities are either office-based or of an extreme emergency nature. We revealed a significant age-dependent decrease in hormonal parameters in those working in office conditions. In the group of men whose professional activity is of an extreme emergency nature, significant age-dependent changes in hormonal parameters were not found. Comparison of men of different working conditions showed significant changes in all three studied hormones only in the second age group (over 40 years old).
