While studying the effects of Cortexin and Pinealon (Glu-Asp-Arg) on the caspase-3 activity in the brain, an interleykin-6 and a factor of tumor necrosis in blood serum of old rats under the sharp hypoxic hypoxia it was suggested that in hypoxia of brain conditions Pinealon forwards the increase of the neurogenesis and the decrease neuroinflammatory reactions to a reference level. With the sharp hypoxic hypoxia Cortexin reduces an ability of brain tissue of programmed cells death, but saves the content of interleykin-6 at high level.

In the review numerous facts testifying the ability of these substances to stimulate pathogenic microflora development are systematized and mechanisms of growth stimulation and change of genes expression of microorganisms by catecholamines are considered. The microbial endocrinology role in shaping integrative physiological concepts is discussed.
