THE EFFECT OF STRESS AND CORTISOL UPON THE CHEMISTRY OF INFLAMMATION

[摘要] Both moderate trauma and cortisol administration have been shown to exert essentially identical effects upon the chemistry of inflammation. These forms of stress were without effect upon the usual losses of collagen in croton-oil produced wounds. However, stress did inhibit the accumulation of fucose-rich, sialic acid-poor glycoproteins within the wound. Stressed wounds also demonstrated a significantly greater accumulation of insoluble N and hexos-amine than did the control wounds.
