The Inflammatory Indicator IL-6 and BDNF Levels in Male Fitness Athletes and Their Relationship with Acute Stress Disorder: A Case-Control Study

The Role of Stress-related Biomarkers, Immune-inflammatory Pathways, and Genetic Polymorphisms in Cognitive-behavioral Therapies for Chronic Low Back Pain and Depression: Results from a Randomized Controlled Trial (the IMPACT study).

While ACT and BATD improved clinical outcomes, their effects on immune-inflammatory biomarkers were not significant and underscore the need to further explore the interaction between psychological therapies, biological processes, and individual variability in treatment outcomes.

30. Secondary Analysis of Sleep Functioning and Interleukin-6 Levels Between Controls and Athletes Following Sport-related Concussion

Interleukin 6 (IL 6) is an inflammatory cytokine that may be acutely elevated within the acute phase following sport related concussion. IL-6 has been an area of interest as a peripheral blood-based biomarker; however, few studies have examined IL-6 in relation to sleep functioning. We hypothesized there would be...

Associations between high perceived stress, inflammatory proteins, and BDNF: a cross-sectional study of young adult females in Shanghai, China.

Findings indicated that Chinese, young women with HS exhibit distinct inflammatory profiles and reduced BDNF levels, suggesting that chronic stress may be associated with increased inflammation and compromised neuronal plasticity, highlighting the need for future longitudinal studies to clarify the long-term impact of...

association of BDNF Val66Met polymorphism with hPa and saM axis reactivity to psychological and physical stress

Relationship between BDNF rs6265 (VAL66MET) polymorphism and serum BDNF LEVELS in anxiety disorders

It is demonstrated that decreased serum BDNF levels are associated with the presence and symptom severity of anxiety disorders, and the Val66Met polymorphism does not appear to be a primary determinant of serum BDNF levels in this population, suggesting that other genetic or environmental factors may be involved.

The role of the Inflammatory Cytokine Interleukin-6 (IL-6) in moderating the relationship between pesticide exposure and metabolic syndrome in vegetable farmers

Pesticide exposure has been associated with metabolic syndrome (MetS). However, the moderating role of inflammatory cytokines, such as interleukin-6 (IL-6), remains unclear. This study examined how IL-6 moderates the relationship between acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity, as a pesticide-exposure biomarker, and the r...
