Chronic psychological stress and the regulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines: A glucocorticoid-resistance model
Abstract
This study examined whether chronic stress impairs the immune system's capacity to respond to hormonal signals that terminate inflammation.Fifty healthy adults were studied; half were parents of cancer patients, and half were parents of healthy children.Parents of cancer patients reported more psychological distress than parents of healthy children.They also had flatter diurnal slopes of cortisol secretion, primarily because of reduced output during the morning hours.There was also evidence that chronic stress impaired the immune system's response to anti-inflammatory signals: The capacity of a synthetic glucocorticoid hormone to suppress in vitro production of the pro-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-6 was diminished among parents of cancer patients.Findings suggest a novel pathway by which chronic stress might alter the course of inflammatory disease.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
