Abstract


Stress is associated with an increase in serum Jeptin concentration. This means that leptin is not only an adipostatic hormone whose function is to prevent obesity, but also. a stress related hormone.


The process of aging and intercurrent pathologic processes gradually eliminate the physiological reserve which are present in the younger individuals. This makes old people more vulnerable to the dangers of stress, than younger persons.
