All biological factors produced by each 
									organism ensure its normal working and life 
									maintenance. 
									
									
									
									The production 
									of biological factors 
									is 
									indispensable 
									
									for 
									the maintenance of normal physiology. 
									They 
									decrease with age. 
									
									
									
									
									
									
									 Diseases 
									of 
									
									aging 
									represent consequences of life maintenance 
									system failures. 
									
									
									
									
									
									The organism's glandular system is an 
									essential part of the maintenance system for 
									both men and women. 
									
									Glands 
									progressively stop functioning. 
									
									
									 
									
									
									
									
									
									The 
									ovaries, testicles, thyroid, 
									pancreas, pituitary, and epiphysis 
									secrete the main hormones. 
									
									
									
									
									In man,
									
									
									male hormone 
									
									secretions diminish year to year after forty 
									(and sometimes even before). 
									
									
									
									
									
									Cells produce other hormones. 
									The liver secretes a specific growth factor 
									(IGF).
									
									
									
									
									Kidneys secrete a hormone, erythropoietin, 
									that causes red blood cells' production by 
									the bone marrow. 
									
									
									
									Today genetic engineering 
									produces 
									red corpuscles, white cells, and platelets. These products will be given 
									intravenously in vain to people who have not 
									looked after their life maintenance system, 
									especially from forty.
