Immune modulation in response to stress and relaxation / Mahbub E Sobhani, N. Haque, U. Salma, A. Ahmed
Material type: Continuing resourceISSN: 1028-8880Subject(s): psychoneuroimmunology | stress | HPA axis | glucocorticoids | endorphin | met-enkephalin In: Pakistan Journal of Biological Sciences -- 2011 v. 14, n. 6 p. 363-374Summary: Traditional medical science has kept the mind separate from the body. Recently people realize the effect of mind on health and psychoneuroimmunology is the new evolved science that describes the interactions between psyche and soma. In this review through a typical psycho-neuro-endocrino-immune network the effects of psychological stress (acute, brief naturalistic and chronic) and relaxation on immune modulation has been shown. From this network Corticotrophin Releasing Factor (CRF), Adrenocorticotrhophic Hormone (ACTH), Glucocorticoids (GC), endorphin and Met-enkephalin are found as important endocrine components and T cells, B cells, monocytes/macrophages, Natural Killer (NK) cells and their cytokines that is Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF), Interferon Gamma (IFN) and interleukins such as IL-1, IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, IL-12 etct, are found as important immune components. Finally, it has been shown that, acute, brief naturalistic and chronic stress have different immune modulatory activities which are hamful to one´s homeostasis and relaxation can help to maintain that homeostasis.Item type | Current library | Collection | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode |
