From Stress to Inflammation and Major Depressive Disorder: A Social Signal Transduction Theory of Depression (2014, background): “One factor that can alter adaptive innate immune system responding and prolong inflammation is stress (Segerstrom & Miller, 2004; Steptoe et al., 2007).”
Psychobiological Responses to Social Self Threat: Functional or Detrimental? (2009, background): “For example, meta-analyses have demonstrated that both chronic and acute stressors can, on average, elicit increases in proinflammatory cytokine levels and production (Segerstrom & Miller, 2004 ; Steptoe, Hamer, & Chida, 2007 ); however, the effects across studies have been somewhat inconsistent.”
Immune modulation of learning, memory, neural plasticity and neurogenesis. (2011, neutral): “…processes (such as examination or public speaking in humans or various learning paradigms in rodents) is associated with cytokines (particularly IL-1) production (Brydon et al., 2005; Depino et al., 2004; Goshen et al., 2007; Heinz et al., 2003; Labrousse et al., 2009; Steptoe et al., 2007).”
Effect of Compassion Meditation on Neuroendocrine, Innate Immune and Behavioral Responses to Psychosocial Stress (2008, background): “…increased levels of plasma IL-6 (and/or its downstream product c-reactive protein) predict the development of a number of disease states, including vascular disease, diabetes and dementia (Ridker, 2000; Pradhan et al., 2001; Kiecolt-Glaser et al., 2003; Perry et al., 2007; Steptoe et al., 2007).”
Diurnal Cortisol Slopes and Mental and Physical Health Outcomes:A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis (2017, background): “Proinflammatory cytokines are stress-sensitive (Steptoe et al., 2007) and they impact the activity of many other central and peripheral biological systems, including the HPA axis and clock gene activity (Cavadini et al., 2007; Cermakian et al., 2013; Cermakian et al., 2014; Verburg-van Kemenade et…”
Exposure to a Social Stressor Alters the Structure of the Intestinal Microbiota: Implications for Stressor-Induced Immunomodulation (2010, background): “Studies in humans demonstrate that both prolonged natural stressors, as well as acute laboratory stressors result in increased circulating cytokines such as IL-6 and TNF-a (reviewed in Steptoe et al. (2007)).”
Rethinking IL-6 and CRP: Why they are more than inflammatory biomarkers, and why it matters. (2018, neutral): “The rise of IL-6 is slower and reaches a peak after 90-120 minutes (Marsland et al., 2017; Segerstrom & Miller 2004; Steptoe et al, 2007).”
Adverse childhood experiences, allostasis, allostatic load, and age-related disease. (2012, background): “Despite the elevated cortisol levels, some maltreated children also exhibit elevated inflammation levels, similar to changes described in adults exposed to psychosocial stressors [27,93].”
The inflammatory & neurodegenerative (I&ND) hypothesis of depression: leads for future research and new drug developments in depression (2009, background): “There have been consistent findings over the years of increased levels of proinflammatory cytokines in stress situations (Steptoe et al. 2007; Shapira-Lichter et al. 2008).”
