• Abstract

  Behavior and emotional signs of psychosocial stress have been extensively described among nursing professionals. However, the investigation about the chronic stress influence on the physiological system of adaptation (allostatic system) and on the body functioning still remains inconclusive. This is particularly important given that chronic stress is associated with the vulnerability to d…

• Abstract

  Several studies have suggested that the wide cognitive variability among aged individuals cpuld be partially explained by stress exposure. Animal and human evidence demonstrates that glucocorticoids (GCs), the main class of stress hormones, are strongly linked with memory impairment in normal and pathological cognitive aging. Socio-demographic characteristics such as education level and …

  Acute stress response and memory performance in healthy elderly: influence of socio-demographic characteristics and coping resources, AP.R

• Abstract

  By population aging, the objective is to increasingly provide the elderly quality of life. The cortisol, a major stress hormones released in response to a stressful situation and the resulting activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, can have a negative effect on the body when its release occurs chronically. Some daily habits like sleep can influence various body syste…

  Influence of sleep quality in the cortisol levels in healthy elderly, BP.IC

• Abstract

  The stress has been extensively investigated nowadays, mainly because its association with chronic comorbidities. In humans, one of the hormones released during the stress response is the cortisol that could be analyzed in the saliva. Its collection is easy, low cost, non-invasive and can be collected by the patient themselves. However, the directions about sampling schedule should be rig…

  Influence of socioeconomic status on saliva samples compliance to the analysis of cortisol in elders, BP.IC

• Abstract

  Over the past decades, several authors have demonstrated a significant association between stress hormones and memory in healthy elderly. In parallel, recent evidences have revealed that exposure to environmental contaminants (EC) such as heavy metals, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and organochlorides, and also the oxidative stress are associated with age-related memory impairment. Som…

(Only some records are available in English at this moment)

• Abstract

  Recently, in a cross-sectional study, we demonstrated that individuals 50 years older with increased levels of environmental contaminants (EC) such as lead (Pb), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and organochlorides (OC) in blood show altered levels of cortisol (hyper and hipocortisolemia), the main mediator of the stress neuroendocrine response, as well as poor cognitive performance compa…
