  1. Based on the type, timing and severity of the applied stimulus, stress can exert various actions on the body ranging from alterations in homeostasis to life-threatening effects and death.

  2. Oct 17, 2020 · Stress constitutes a state of threatened homeostasis triggered by intrinsic or extrinsic adverse forces (stressors) and is counteracted by an intricate repertoire of physiologic and behavioral responses aiming to maintain/reestablish the optimal body equilibrium (eustasis).

  3. May 7, 2024 · Physiological stress: Physiological stress refers to the body's response to internal or external stressors that disrupt homeostasis. Examples include illness, injury, sleep deprivation, or nutritional deficiencies, which activate physiological stress pathways and compromise health and well-being.

  4. Because evolution has provided mammals with reasonably effective homeostatic mechanisms (e.g., baroreceptor reflex) for dealing with short-term stressors, acute stress responses in young, healthy individuals typically do not impose a health burden.

  5. Stress responses have cell autonomous and cell extrinsic components, the latter contributing to tissue level adaptation to stress conditions. Inflammation can be thought of as the extreme end of a spectrum that ranges from homeostasis to stress response to bona fide inflammatory response.

  6. The importance of acknowledging the protective, as well as the potentially damaging effects of the mediators of stress and adaptation, has led to the introduction of two terms: “allostasis,” meaning the process of maintaining stability (homeostasis) by active means, namely, by putting out stress hormones and other mediators; and ...

  7. Oct 10, 2018 · Mammalian cells respond to stress by activating mechanisms that support cellular functions and hence maintain microenvironmental and organismal homeostasis.
