Chronic stress, glucocorticoid receptor resistance, inflammation, and disease risk
Open accessAbstract
We propose a model wherein chronic stress results in glucocorticoid receptor resistance (GCR) that, in turn, results in failure to down-regulate inflammatory response. Here we test the model in two viral-challenge studies. In study 1, we assessed stressful life events, GCR, and control variables including baseline antibody to the challenge virus, age, body mass index (BMI), season, race, sex, education, and virus type in 276 healthy adult volunteers. The volunteers were subsequently quarantined, exposed to one of two rhinoviruses, and followed for 5 d with nasal washes for viral isolation and assessment of signs/symptoms of a common cold. In study 2, we assessed the same control variables and GCR in 79 subjects who were subsequently exposed to a rhinovirus and monitored at baseline and for 5 d after viral challenge for the production of local (in nasal secretions) proinflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, TNF-α, and IL-6). Study 1: After covarying the control variables, those with recent exposure to a long-term threatening stressful experience demonstrated GCR; and those with GCR were at higher risk of subsequently developing a cold. Study 2: With the same controls used in study 1, greater GCR predicted the production of more local proinflammatory cytokines among infected subjects. These data provide support for a model suggesting that prolonged stressors result in GCR, which, in turn, interferes with appropriate regulation of inflammation. Because inflammation plays an important role in the onset and progression of a wide range of diseases, this model may have broad implications for understanding the role of stress in health.

“The simple notion that chronic stress acts through the direct effects of elevated circulating cortisol is becoming less likely (5,6).”
What the sources say
- Partly supportedcites [5] 5. Cole SW (2008) Social regulation of leukocyte homeostasis: The role of glucocorticoid sensitivity. Brain Behav Immun 22:1049-1055. sourceExperimental — accuracy not yet measured
The Introduction reports glucocorticoid resistance in chronically stressed people, and the Discussion reports reduced leukocyte sensitivity to cortisol among lonely older adults. These findings challenge an explanation based solely on cortisol’s direct effects, but the paper does not establish that elevated circulating cortisol is an increasingly unlikely explanation for chronic stress generally.

The Results section (“Relationship to HPA axis glucocorticoid response”) reports a significant sample-wide correlation between lymphocyte sensitivity to endogenous cortisol variation—the indirect hematological assessment—and lymphocyte redistribution after dexamethasone (p = .006). The Discussion explicitly describes desensitization of that probe as correlated with blunted lymphocyte redistribution in response to dexamethasone. (LLM, conf=0.94)

“The logic of the measure is that there is a strong physiologic correlation between cortisol levels and the number of circulating leukocytes only if leukocyte glucocorticoid receptors are sensitive (i.e., signaling cells to redistribute).”

What the sources say
- Partly supportedcites [5] 5. Cole SW (2008) Social regulation of leukocyte homeostasis: The role of glucocorticoid sensitivity. Brain Behav Immun 22:1049-1055. sourceExperimental — accuracy not yet measured
The Introduction (page not provided) says cortisol correlates with neutrophil-to-lymphocyte and neutrophil-to-monocyte ratios when leukocyte glucocorticoid receptors are sensitive, and that desensitization attenuates those correlations. But the claim broadens this to the number of circulating leukocytes: Table 2 (Results; page not provided) finds no significant association with total white-blood-cell count. The Discussion also says the observed correlations with hematologic measures rarely exceeded r = .20, so calling them strong overstates the findings. (LLM, conf=0.88)

Psychosom Med 71:591-597. sourceExperimental — accuracy not yet measured
The Introduction says glucocorticoid-receptor signaling mediates leukocyte redistribution and that the strength of its association with cortisol is a measure of sensitivity. But the Results report only a weak correlation for lymphocyte counts (rS = −.20), with no significant association for monocytes or neutrophils. Thus the claim overstates the strength and breadth of the correlation. Page numbers were not available in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.86)

Inflammation plays an important role in the onset and progression of a wide range of diseases.
“Because inflammation plays an important role in the onset and progression of a wide range of diseases, this model may have broad implications for understanding the role of stress in health.”

Few human studies include assessments of stressful events, HPA response, and a disease outcome in the same subjects.

In the citing paper
“psychological stressors that are persistently present in some contemporary work environments, such as those characterized by high job demand and low control, can cause physiologic changes155 that disrupt the ability for glucocorticoids to effectively down-regulate inflammatory activity due to decreased sensitivity caused by chronic elevation in cortisol, leading in turn to SCI and poor health156”

Each contradiction between two passages listed here was confirmed by an independent check.

§ Chronic stress, glucocorticoid receptor resistance, inflammation, and disease risk > Methods
“The second set included standard covariates, dichotomous variables for life stress, and cold status (1 = cold, 0 = no cold) and the interaction of life stress and cold status.We again predicted an interaction with cortisol associated with leukocyte counts among those without colds but not among those with colds.”
§ Chronic stress, glucocorticoid receptor resistance, inflammation, and disease risk > GCR and colds.
“Here linear regressions indicate stress-by-cortisol interactions for lymphocytes (P = 0.02), neutrophils (marginal at P = 0.08), and N/L ratio (P = 0.02).”

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.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-09, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-09 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Cited sources are checked with a language model’s help (gpt-6-sol).
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.
