Understanding the interaction between psychosocial stress and immune-related diseases: A stepwise progression
Brain, Behavior, and Immunity, 10/29/07
Kemeny, M.E., et al. - For many years, anecdotal evidence and clinical observations have suggested that exposure to psychosocial stress can affect disease outcomes in immune-related disorders such as viral infections, chronic autoimmune diseases and tumors. Experimental evidence in humans supporting these observations was, however, lacking. Studies published in the last 2 decades in Brain, Behavior and Immunity and other journals have demonstrated that acute and chronic psychological stress can induce pronounced changes in innate and adaptive immune responses and that these changes are predominantly mediated via neuroendocrine mediators from the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis and the sympathetic–adrenal axis
