Abstract

Work-related stress is a growing health problem in modern society. The stress response is characterized by numerous neurochemicals, neuroendocrine and immune modifications that involve various neurological systems and circuits, and regulation of the gene expression of the different receptors. In this regard, a lot of research has focused the attention on the role played by the environment in influencing gene expression, which in turn can control the stress response. In particular, genetic factors can moderate the sensitivities of specific types of neural cells or circuits mediating the imprinting of the environment on different biological systems. In this current review, we wish to analyze systematic reviews and recent experimental research on the physio-pathological mechanisms that underline stress-related responses. In particular, we analyze the relationship between genetic and epigenetic factors in the stress response.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The greater use of antidepressants than drug abuse is probably due to their greater availability and the progressive increase in the incidence of psychiatric pathologies and stress-related disorders.

    “probably due to their greater availability and the progressive increase in the incidence of psychiatric pathologies and stress-related disorders [45,46].”

    From Toxicological Findings of Self-Poisoning Suicidal Deaths: A Systematic Review by Countries (2022) · cites this paper as [45]

    The Introduction reports that financial crises may increase mental health disorders and substance abuse, which supports only the claim’s general link to rising psychiatric problems. It does not compare antidepressant use with drug abuse or attribute greater antidepressant use to availability or a progressive increase in stress-related disorders. The indexed copy provides no page number for the passage. (LLM, conf=0.78)

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.
