BACKGROUND: Academic stress is a good model of psychological stress in humans and is thus useful for studying psychoneurohormonal changes. The aim of the current study was to examine the effect of academic examination stress on activation of the hypothalamus-autonomic nervous system (HANS) and the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenocortical (HPA) axis, through the measurements of changes in neuro-hormon…

DNA repair capacity in healthy medical students during and after exam stress.
"There has been extensive research into the effects of stress on immune function but little on the effects of stress on DNA repair capacity (DRC), a process central to maintaining a normal cell cycle. Defective DRC is one of the factors responsible for carcinogenesis. In the present study we assessed DRC in healthy medical students during times of high and low stress. Sixteen medical students…

Plasma glucose and lactic acid alterations in response to a stressful exam
Changes in lactic acid and plasma glucose levels as a function of examination stress were measured using a 'pinprick' blood sampling method. Blood samples were obtained from 12 subjects at each of four times, one week prior to the exam, within 15 min pre-exam, within 15 min post-exam, and three weeks after the exam.
Glucose was significantly elevated pre-exam over control times and d… |
