When a person thinks or says about any offensive or annoying his things and situations in his body increased levels of markers of inflammation, according to doctors from Ohio University, in the city of Athens (United States).
Their findings will soon be presented at the annual meeting of the American Psychosomatic Society in Miami.
Associate Professor University psychologist Peggy Zokkola his comrades found that when the volunteers were asked to go through in vitro exciting event, the level of C-reactive protein in the blood plasma increased.This protein is an indicator of inflammation in the tissues of the body, that is, roughly speaking, the higher the concentration of C-reactive protein (CRP) in the human body, the more he ill.
This is the first study to establish the relationship between bad memories and inflammatory processes in those parts of the body, which "do not know how to think."Previously, it was shown that the concentration of C-reactive protein in the blood affect some mental disorders such as depression, even easy, does not require hospitalization or outpatient treatment "at the hospital."Or diseases that manifest themselves in opposition, and / or of anger.
In the experiment, Dr. Zokkola participated 34 people, it is - young, healthy women.All of them were asked to talk with two interviewers, as if the ladies get a job.And not just to talk, and tell yourself something good and not very good, while the men in white coats volunteers listened stone-faced.This "conversation with the wall," even the most mentally adequate person can cause a stress response.
After the "penalty" half of the subjects were told to "go through" his speech in his mind again, and the second half - think about something positive, such as a walk on a yacht or a successful purchase in the store.Then those and others have taken a blood test.Doctors have found that CRP concentration is significantly higher in the plasma of those who, at the request of researchers thought of his public speech, deliberately cold perceived examiners.The level of a marker of inflammation continued to rise for an hour after the speech of their pros and cons.
At the same ones who, after stress switched to talk about the amenities and other purchases, the concentration of C-reactive protein decreased rapidly to normal values.
main source of CRP in the human body - is the liver.Any strong emotional shock, injury, trauma or infection triggers release of excessive amounts of protein.Therefore its concentration in the blood, as well as ESR, serves as a marker of inflammation and a criterion for predicting the development of the disease.
People with levels of C-reactive protein is constantly overestimated risk gain heart ailment, from which you can die.Doctors in the UK believe that this anomaly immunity capable inherited.
