Popis: | Objective: The stress buffering potential of phospholipid (PL) intake on cognitive performance and neuroendocrine and psychological responses under conditions of psychosocial stress were examined in a high stress vulnerable (perfectionist) sample. Methods: Fifty four high perfectionist males consumed a six week daily intake of a bovine milk-derived PL (2.7g/day) or placebo drink in a randomised, double-blind, placebo controlled, parallel groups design. Working memory, executive control function and acute physiological/subjective responses to an acute psychosocial stressor were examined before and after the six weeks PL or placebo intake. Results: PL intake improved post-stress RT performance on an attention switching task (p = .01). No significant attenuation of the salivary cortisol stress response was shown. PL intake significantly increased mid-stress induction energetic arousal (p = .03). A non-significant reduction in anticipatory subjective stress was reported after PL intake (p = .06). Systolic (p < .04) and diastolic blood (p = .01) pressures were significantly augmented in the PL condition. Conclusions: Dietary intake of bovine milk phospholipids conferred cognitive performance benefits under conditions of psychosocial stress, but failed to moderate cortisol response. Moderation of subjective response to stress exposure may have underpinned this performance protection. |
