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. In many cases, the pathophysiological complications of disease arise from stress and the subjects exposed to stress, e.g. those that work or live in stressful environments, have a higher likelihood of many ...
Jun 17, 2016 · Homeostasis and the Stress Response. Stress is one of the most cited concepts in biomedical literature. Whether physical, mental, or emotional, stress has the potential to be positive or negative depending on the individual and the situation. From a positive aspect, stress can preserve life, but if left unresolved, maladaption, and even death ...
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). The adaptive stress response depends upon a highly interconnected neuroendocrine, cellular, and molecular infrastructure ...

May 7, 2024 · Any physical or psychological stimuli that disrupt homeostasis result in a stress response. The stimuli are called stressors, and physiological and behavioral changes in response to exposure to stressors constitute the stress response. A stress response is mediated through a complex interplay of nervous, endocrine, and immune mechanisms, activating the sympathetic-adreno-medullar (SAM) axis ...

Abstract. Stressors have a major influence upon mood, our sense of well-being, behavior, and health. Acute stress responses in young, healthy individuals may be adaptive and typically do not impose a health burden. However, if the threat is unremitting, particularly in older or unhealthy individuals, the long-term effects of stressors can ...
The recognition that chronic stress can cause serious diseases has intensified research to determine the biochemical perturbations that compromise homeostasis to a degree that prevents spontaneous recovery. The picture is very complex because chronic stress appears to affect organ and system functions at multiple levels.
