Biomarker Analysis of Stress

Completed

Conditions studied: Sepsis

In brief

Physiological changes can occur from different types of stress as induced by an infection, an environmental toxicant exposure, or an emotional disturbance. The stress-induced effects can modify health by lessening defense mechanisms as maintained by the immune system. The ability of different forms of stress to alter physiological processes (body functions) will be assessed by monitoring the blood profile of cell numbers and functions as well as the plasma protein content. It is anticipated that the pattern of blood changes will reflect the types of stress and the degree to which body functions could be altered by the stress.
