Effects of nutrition on neuro-endocrine stress responses

Abstract

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Past studies in humans and animals have shown that low blood glucose concentrations due to fasting negatively interfere with the ability to mount a hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis response to psychological stress or to pharmacological activation, respectively. This contradicts the classical view of the proposed primary glucocorticoid function of providing the individual with energy in fight-or-flight situations. RECENT FINDINGS: Not many studies have followed up on this phenomenon in recent years, but our understanding of how appetite and satiety is regulated has significantly improved. Many of the neuropeptides involved in regulation of energy homeostasis interact with key areas of the HPA axis. The majority of orexigenic peptides have been shown to activate the HPA axis, while some anorexic peptides negatively modulate HPA axis activation and others also stimulate it. SUMMARY: The effects of orexigenic peptides on the HPA axis are incompatible with the phenomenon of blunted HPA axis activity in states of low energy available, while the fact that some anorexigenic peptides activate the HPA axis might point to a permissive role. In conclusion, current data insufficiently explain negative HPA axis modulation by low glucose levels.

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.
