Stress, Fighting and Neuroendocrine Function

Nature, 1971
Plasma concentrations of pituitary adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH) and adrenocortical steroids in rats after testing in the shock-induced fighting paradigm were examined. The investigations provide data consistent with the view that psychological aspects of the stressful situation are important in determining the effects of shock on physiological ...

Endothelial Function and Oxidative Stress

Endothelium, 2004
Increased oxidative stress impairs endothelial function and is thought to mediate vascular disease. Several pathological conditions increase the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the vascular wall, including hypercholesterolemia, diabetes, and hypertension.

Stress hormones and immune function

Cellular Immunology, 2008
Over the past 20 years we have demonstrated both in animal models and in human studies that stress increases neuroendocrine hormones, particularly glucocorticoids and catecholamines but to some extent also prolactin, growth hormone and nerve growth factor.

Stress Functions for Elastic Dielectrics

ZAMM - Journal of Applied Mathematics and Mechanics / Zeitschrift für Angewandte Mathematik und Mechanik, 1979
AbstractBeltrami‐type representations are constructed for the stress tensor, the polarization vector, and the electric tensor for Mindlin's theory of elastic dielectrics including polarization gradient effects. Using these representations and the linear compatibility conditions, stress boundary value problems of linear elastic dielectrics are ...

Respiration, Stress, and Cardiovascular Function

Psychophysiology, 1983
ABSTRACTThe significance of respiratory influences upon cardiovascular functioning has been much neglected in the psychophysiological literature. Various phasic and nonphasic respiratory parameters manifest marked and specific effects upon numerous cardiac and circulatory events. Ventilatory patterns associated with stress responses, furthermore, bring

The Stress Function of a Radial Strain

Journal of Applied Mechanics, 1959
Abstract A stress function which permits the study of radial strain and, in particular, the manner of determining this stress function in a given cone, are derived in this paper.

Psychobiology of Stress and Immune Functions

1990
It has been known for a long time that stress has an influence on the susceptibility to disease. As early as the nineteenth century, Louis Pasteur found that chickens could be made susceptible to anthrax by immersing their legs in cold water. In his 1936 paper published in Nature, Hans Selye included involvement of the thymus as one of the three ...
