A recent study conducted by researchers at Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center explores the neurobiological implications of chronic stress and metabolic dysregulation in inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs). The study highlights the role of cortisol, a glucocorticoid hormone produced by the adrenal glands, in the stress response and its impact on metabolism, immune response, and neurobiology. Elevated cortisol levels are associated with the development and exacerbation of metabolic disorders like IBD, as well as cognitive impairments and increased susceptibility to psychiatric conditions. The study aims to provide insights into potential therapeutic strategies for mitigating these effects. [Extracted from the article] |
