Popis: Although stress reactions are organized to protect the homeostatic state of animals, they contain elements that may either enhance or diminish susceptibility to disease processes; in many instances, however, stress reactions themselves may induce pathologic change. It is important, therefore, that the veterinary clinician recognize the elements of a stress reaction and understand the mechanisms of disease with which they interact. This article provides a classification of stress stimuli that can be applied when considering interactions between stress reactions and disease processes.
