52 cases with typical Yin- or Yang -deficiency patients were selected

with 20 normal persons as control. The peripheral WBC

leukocytic gluco-cortisol （GR） were examined. Results showed that the difference of WBC. While GR values of both deficient groups were markedly lowered

demonstrating that the decrease of GR might be the common pathological changes of Yin deficiency and Yang deficiency when the condition developed to a certain degree of severity

while the difference in the decreased amount of GR may contribute to one of the pathological bases for the difference in the clinical.
