Social isolation in mice: behavior, immunity, and tumor growth.

TLDR
Results show that social isolation leads to changes in the Hypothalamic-hypophyseal-adrenal axis, which in turn alter the response to stress, and social isolation was shown to impact tumor progression.
Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the behavioral, immunological, and neurological effects of long-term isolation in an animal model. Male C3H/eB mice wereraised in either social isolation or...

Animal Models of Depression: What Can They Teach Us about the Human Disease?

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the most common tests used for the evaluation of depressive-like symptoms in rodents is presented, and the authors describe different models of depression and discuss their strengths and weaknesses, including genetic models, models induced by mental acute and chronic stressful situations caused by environmental manipulations, and drugs induced by pharmacological tools.

The Role of Immune Cells in Oxi-Inflamm-Aging

TL;DR: In this article, the function of immune cells can be used as an indicator of the rate of aging of an individual, and the immune system can work as a driver of aging by amplifying the oxidative-inflammatory stress associated with aging (oxi-inflamm-aging).

Effects of long-term social isolation on central, behavioural and metabolic parameters in middle-aged mice.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of long-term social isolation on metabolic, behavioural, and central nervous system-related areas in middle-aged mice were investigated, and it was shown that chronic social isolation contributes to alterations in feeding, physical activity pattern, and anxiety-like behaviour.

Brain Metabolic Profile after Intranasal vs. Intraperitoneal Clomipramine Treatment in Rats with Ultrasound Model of Depression

TL;DR: In this paper, the brain metabolome after antidepressant therapy is poorly understood and had not been performed for different routes of drug administration before the present study, and the brain metabolites in the frontal cortex and hippocampus were analyzed with liquid chromatography.

Effects of stress on immune function: the good, the bad, and the beautiful.

TL;DR: It is proposed that short-term stress is one of the nature’s fundamental but under-appreciated survival mechanisms that could be clinically harnessed to enhance immunoprotection and “good” versus “bad” effects of stress on health.

Psychoneuroendocrine influences on immunocompetence and neoplasia

Vernon Riley
- 05 Jun 1981 - 
TL;DR: The studies demonstrate that anxiety-stress can be quantitatively induced and the consequences measured through specific biochemical and cellular parameters, providing that authentic quiescent baselines of these conditions are obtained in the experimental animals by the use of low-stress protective housing and handling techniques.

Enhancing versus suppressive effects of stress on immune function: implications for immunoprotection and immunopathology.

TL;DR: It is proposed that it is important to study and, if possible, to clinically harness the immunoenhancing effects of the acute stress response, that evolution has finely sculpted as a survival mechanism, just as its maladaptive ramifications (chronic stress) has yet to resolve.

Post-traumatic stress disorder: the neurobiological impact of psychological trauma.

TL;DR: Findings offer insight into the pathophysiology of PTSD as well as the biological vulnerability of certain populations to develop PTSD, several pathological features found in PTSD patients overlap with features found with patients with traumatic brain injury paralleling the shared signs and symptoms of these clinical syndromes.

Environmental enrichment in mice decreases anxiety, attenuates stress responses and enhances natural killer cell activity.

TL;DR: EE has a beneficial effect on anxiety‐like behaviour, stress response andNK cell activity, and the effect on NK cell activity is promising, due to the role of NK cells in host resistance.
