Corticosteroids and the Immune Response

  • Chapter
Mechanisms of Physical and Emotional Stress

Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology ((AEMB,volume 245))

Abstract

Stress is a powerful stimulus to glucocorticoid (“steroid”) production. Glucocorticoids, in turn, have important effects on the immune system. In principle, one could develop the theme; stress → steroid production → immune modulation. In practice, however, one should recognize that most of our knowledge of the effects of glucocorticosteroids on the immune response comes from pharmacological studies where exogenous steroids are given and where their effects on the immune system are then measured. Stress is omitted.
