  • Improving animal welfare status and meat quality through assessment of stress biomarkers: A critical review

    2023, Meat Science
    Citation Excerpt :

    Stress leads to an increase in the susceptibility of animals to pathogens that already exist in animals. The immune response to stressors is governed by complex bidirectional signal interactions among the central nervous system, endocrine system, and immune system; hence jointly studied under ‘psychoneuroimmunology’ (Ader, Cohen, & Felten, 1995). Stress hormones/ neurohormones have immunomodulatory (usually immunosuppressive) and adaptive effects via the presence of specialized receptors and associated intracellular signaling pathways in immune cells (Adamo, 2014; Glaser & Kiecolt-Glaser, 2005).

  • Predisposing factors for increased cortisol levels in oral cancer patients

    2022, Comprehensive Psychoneuroendocrinology
    Citation Excerpt :

    Stress, anxiety and depression result in neurohormonal dysregulation affecting the immune system and cancer progression [1,3,4]. The neuroendocrine and immune systems share common mediators and receptors signals, suggesting that the brain plays an immunoregulatory role [5]. Psychological processes activate the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) and the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, promoting increased secretion of stress-related neurohormonal mediators, such as catecholamines and cortisol [4].
