Chronic fatigue syndrome: inflammation, immune function, and neuroendocrine interactions.
Investigations into the underlying cause of chronic fatigue syndrome have advanced the field considerably in the past year. Gene microarray data have led to a better understanding of pathogenesis. Recent research has evaluated genetic signatures, described biologic subgroups, and suggested potential targeted treatments. Acute viral infection studies found that initial infection severity was the...
متن کاملChronic cocaine exposure during pregnancy increases postpartum neuroendocrine stress responses.
The cycle of chronic cocaine (CC) use and withdrawal results in increased anxiety, depression and disrupted stress-responsiveness. Oxytocin and corticosterone (CORT) interact to mediate hormonal stress responses and can be altered by cocaine use. These neuroendocrine signals play important regulatory roles in a variety of social behaviours, specifically during the postpartum period, and are sen...
متن کاملThe neuroendocrine impact of chronic stress on cancer.
Behavioral processes have long been suspected to influence many health processes including effects on cancer. However, mechanisms underlying these observations are not fully understood. Recent work has demonstrated that chronic behavioral stress results in higher levels of tissue catecholamines, greater tumor burden, and a more invasive pattern of ovarian cancer growth in an orthotopic mouse mo...
متن کاملRestricted and disrupted sleep: effects on autonomic function, neuroendocrine stress systems and stress responsivity.
Frequently disrupted and restricted sleep is a common problem for many people in our modern around-the-clock society. In this context, it is an important question how sleep loss affects the stress systems in our bodies since these systems enable us to deal with everyday challenges. Altered activity and reactivity of these systems following insufficient sleep might have serious repercussions for...
متن کاملChronic stress and sexual function in women.
INTRODUCTION Chronic stress is known to have negative effects on reproduction, but little is known about how it affects the sexual response cycle. The present study examined the relationship between chronic stress and sexual arousal and the mechanisms that mediate this relationship. AIM The aim of this study is to test the relationship between chronic stress and sexual arousal and identify me...
