Exogenous administration of inflammatory stimuli to humans and laboratory animals chronic endogenous states lead motivational deficits ultimately anhedonia, a core disabling symptom depression present in multiple other psychiatric disorders. Inflammation impacts neurotransmitter systems neurocircuits subcortical brain regions including the ventral striatum, which serves as an integration point for reward processing decision-making. Many mechanisms contribute these effects inflammation, decreased synthesis, release reuptake dopamine, increased synaptic extrasynaptic glutamate, activation kynurenine pathway metabolites quinolinic acid.

Abstract Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are associated with depression and systemic inflammation in adults. However, limited longitudinal research has tested these relationships children young people, it is unclear whether an underlying mechanism through which ACEs influence depression. We examined the associations of several across different early-life periods patterns adulthood assessed mediating role inflammation. The data came from Avon Longitudinal Study Parents Children ( N = 3931). prenatal period to adolescence were operationalised using cumulative scores, single adversities, dimensions derived factor analysis. Inflammation (C-reactive protein) was measured on three occasions (9–18 years) depressive symptoms ascertained four (18–23 years). Latent class growth analysis employed delineate group-based trajectories between inflammation/depression multinomial logistic regression Most types all elevated trajectories, larger for threat-related adversities compared other ACEs. Bullying victimisation sexual abuse late childhood/adolescence CRP while unrelated also did not mediate These results suggest that consistently depression, whereas weak people.

Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) can have lasting effects on adult health and survival. In this study, we aimed to examine how the cumulative number clustering patterns of ACEs were related premature mortality.Participants (N=46 129; 45% White, 48% Black; 49·5% females) offspring (born in 1959-1966) participants enrolled Collaborative Perinatal Project (CPP). We conducted latent class analysis assessed between children's birth age seven. also calculated ACE scores 13 individual ACEs. Cox regression models used associations clusters with risk mortality from adolescence mid-adulthood.At start follow-up for 1979, 12-20 years old (Mean=15·99 years), within 38-year through 2016, 3 344 deaths observed among 46 129 CPP offspring. Five classes identified. Compared children Low Adversity (48% sample), Family Instability (9%, HR=1·28, 95%CI 1·07-1·53), Poverty & Crowded Housing (21%, HR=1·41, 1·24-1·62), Parental Separation (19%, HR=1·50, 1·33-1·68) had higher hazards mortality. addition, 2 (HR=1·27, 1·14-1·41), (HR=1·29, 1·15-1·45), 4+ (HR=1·45, 1·30-1·61) than those no ACE. The (HR=1·28, 1·10-1·49) (HR=1·23, 1·02-1·48) remained associated mortality, beyond (HR=1·05, 1·01-1·08).About half cohort experienced early life adversities that clustered into four distinct patterns, which different It is important deepen our understanding specific affect better inform approaches prevention interventions.

The normal stress response in humans is governed by the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis through heightened mechanisms during stress, raising blood levels of glucocorticoid hormone cortisol. Glucocorticoids are quintessential compounds that balance proper functioning numerous systems mammalian body. They also generated synthetically and preeminent therapy for inflammatory diseases. act binding to nuclear receptor transcription factor (GR), which has two main isoforms (GRα GRβ). Our classical understanding signaling from GRα isoform, binds hormone, whereas GRβ no known ligands. With glucocorticoids being involved many physiological cellular processes, even small disruptions their release via HPA axis, or changes GR isoform expression, can have dire ramifications on health. Long-term chronic lead a glucocorticoid-resistant state, we deliberate how this impacts disease treatment. Chronic treatment noticeable side effects such as weight gain, adiposity, diabetes, others discuss detail. There sexually dimorphic responses glucocorticoids, women tend more hyperresponsive than men. This review summarizes our critically analyzes beneficial deleterious sexual differences cause dichotomy responses. We future propose new concept dual agonist postulate why activating both may prevent resistance.

Опубликована: Апрель 25, 2024

Exposure to adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) confers a higher risk of developing depression in adulthood, yet the mediation inflammation remains under debate. To test this model, we conducted systematic review and two-stage structural equation modelling meta-analysis studies reporting correlations between ACEs before age 18, inflammatory markers severity adulthood. Scopus, Pubmed, Medline, PsycInfo, CINAHL were searched up 2 October 2023. Twenty-two data on C-reactive protein (CRP, n = 12,935), interleukin-6 (IL-6, 4108), tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α, 2256) composite measures (n 1674) included. Unadjusted models revealed that CRP (β 0.003, 95 % LBCI 0.0002 0.0068), IL-6 0.001 0.006), 0.009, 0.004 0.018) significantly mediated association adult depression.

Опубликована: Авг. 18, 2023

Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) studies reveal the profound impacts of experiencing trauma and hardships in childhood. However, cumulative risk approach treating ACEs obscures heterogeneity their consequences, making actionable interventions impossible. latent class analysis (LCA) has increasingly been used to address these concerns by identifying underlying subgroups people who experience distinctive patterns co-occurring ACEs. Though LCA its strengths, existing research produces few comparable findings because results are dependent on measures indicators, which vary widely study. Therefore, a scoping review using that focuses measures, is needed inform field. Following Arksey O'Malley's five-stage methodological framework, we first identified 211 articles from databases EBSCOhost, PubMed, Scopus "adverse experiences" for title search "latent analysis" abstract search. Based inclusion criteria peer-reviewed written English published 2012 2022 exclusion nonempirical not analyzing ACEs, finally selected 58 this review.

Exposure to adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) has been linked with increased cardiometabolic risk in adulthood. Low-grade systemic inflammation may underlie this association. Thus far, however, there limited investigation of later life inflammatory biomarkers the context adversity. To assess ACE history, and subcategory, relationships a broad range middle-to older-aged adults test hypothesis that exposure is associated an unfavourable profile adulthood determine whether associations vary by subtype sex. This study used data from random sample 1,839 men women aged 46–74 years. Participant ACEs (overall subtypes including abuse, neglect household dysfunction) was determined using validated 10-item questionnaire. Inflammatory (pro-inflammatory cytokines, adipocytokines, acute-phase response proteins, white blood cell counts their constituents, coagulation factors glycoprotein acetyl) were measured participant samples. Linear regression analyses examined between history each subcategory) adulthood, controlling for potential confounders. Sex-stratified mediation also conducted.
