Stress Ramps Up Inflammation


...

Peggy Zoccola who has a Ph.D and also a assistant professor of psychology at Ohio University; has found that dwelling upon events that are stressful can SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASE INFLAMMTORY CHEMICALS IN THE BODY. So researchers did a test that require 34 healthy young women (no men for some strange reason) giving public presentation for job interviews. After these presentations, half the women were asked to think about there performances. But the other half were to asked to think about neutral events and images. 

As a result of this test/study conducted, all women at first did experience sigificantly higher levels of this chemical called 'C-reactive protein'(CRP). In details, the levels of CRP continued to increase for at least one hour after the performance thought reflection group. 

For those who continued to think neutral thoughts; levels returned to normal during the same time period as the ones who levels increase when thinking about their Performances.

As for this Chemical CRP, it is produced in liver. Plus it will increase in a injury (Chronic Inflammatory Condition).
