Forever Not Bad, Stress Also Make Body Immune Diseases


Jakarta, Many say stress is bad for you. After all the stress is thought to be the cause of immune deficiencies, mental disorders such as depression and eating disorders. However, a study found that stress is also good for your immune system.

Short-term stress, a mobilization of the body when responding to an immediate threat of a sudden, it was able to stimulate your immune activity. This was revealed Firdaus Dhabhar, a professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences as well as members of the Stanford University Institute for Immunity, Transplantation and Infection.

In collaboration with colleagues at Stanford and two other universities, Dhabhar showed that mice that are setting experiencing mild stress caused a large mobilization in a number of key immune cells of mice into the bloodstream and then into the skin and other tissues.

Large-scale migration of immune cells, which took more than 2 hours can be likened to raise armed forces in the face of a crisis, Dhabhar light.

Previously, Dhabhar and colleagues have shown that the redistribution of immune cells in patients with short-term stress caused by the operation is predicted to experience more rapid postoperative recovery.

Researchers also showed that the redistribution of immune cells into the massive whole body was orchestrated by the three hormones secreted by the adrenal glands, the amount and time varying, in response to the event or events that trigger stress. These hormones are the brain calls for collecting such 'forces' that exist throughout the body, bright Dhabhar.

"This capability is provided to help us, instead of killing us," Dhabhar said to have been experimenting for more than a decade on the effects of stress hormones on the immune system is significant.

This finding could be clearly illustrate how the human mind affects the immune activity. "The immune system of impala do not know how to find out that a lion was hiding behind grass and ready to pounce, but instead the brain knows that," he added of newkerala, Monday (02/7/2012).
