Acute psychological stressors and short-term immune changes: what, why, for whom, and to what extent?
A series of recent studies (1-9) have assessed the effects of psychological shortterm stressors on the immune response. In this paper we briefly review the results of these studies, comment on the nature of the stressors and other methodological parameters, discuss issues related to the time course and specificity of the phenomena, and consider the clinical implications of transient immunologic...
متن کاملPsychological stress in children may alter the immune response.
Psychological stress is a public health issue even in children and has been associated with a number of immunological diseases. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between psychological stress and immune response in healthy children, with special focus on autoimmunity. In this study, psychological stress was based on a composite measure of stress in the family across the domai...
متن کاملAcute psychosocial stress induces differential short-term changes in catecholamine sensitivity of stimulated inflammatory cytokine production.
BACKGROUND We have previously shown that psychosocial stress induces acute changes in glucocorticoid (GC) sensitivity of pro-inflammatory cytokine production. However, hormones of the sympathetic adrenal medullary system complement endocrine regulation of inflammatory responses. The current study therefore aimed at investigating the effects of repeated acute stress exposure on catecholamine sen...
متن کاملEffect of short-term, high-dose methylprednisolone on oxidative stress in children with acute immune thrombocytopenia
BACKGROUND Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is the most common cause of acquired childhood thrombocytopenia and is characterized by increased immune-mediated destruction of circulating thrombocytes. Oxidative damage may be involved in ITP pathogenesis; paraoxonase (PON) and arylesterase (ARE) enzymes are closely associated with the cellular antioxidant system. We investigated the effect of short-t...
متن کاملDynamics of telomerase activity in response to acute psychological stress.
Telomerase activity plays an essential role in cell survival, by lengthening telomeres and promoting cell growth and longevity. It is now possible to quantify the low levels of telomerase activity in human leukocytes. Low basal telomerase activity has been related to chronic stress in people and to chronic glucocorticoid exposure in vitro. Here we test whether leukocyte telomerase activity chan...
