Certain types of experimental and naturally-occurring stress are associated with alterations of human cellular immune function.
Is it true that certain types of experimental and naturally-occurring stress are associated with alterations of human cellular immune function?
Yes. Extensive psychoneuroimmunological and biomedical evidence demonstrates that psychological, physical, and naturally occurring physiological stressors are robustly associated with alterations in human cellular immune function.
Verdict: SUPPORTED · 5 sources for, 0 against · Last checked
The retrieved papers consistently provide strong and specific evidence (from psychoneuroimmunology, stress physiology, and clinical studies) showing that both experimental and naturally occurring forms of stress activate neuroendocrine pathways that directly and indirectly alter human cellular immune function. Therefore, the claim is fully supported by the evidence.
