美国华尔特里德陆军研究所研究了战斗应激对免疫系统的影响。在部队动员时,士兵在长时间内受到各种体力和心理应激因素的影响。其典型影响是引起宿主免疫防御功能降低,使士兵对传染病的易感性增强,从而导致减员和部队战斗力降低。影响免疫功能的应激的适应机理尚不清楚。该所科研所获得的认识将为研制防治恐吓引起的免疫缺损的药物措施提供了重要依据。其研究人员证明垂体前叶应激反应激素催乳激素对保持正常免疫功能具有至关重要的作用。催乳激素 Walter Reed Army Research Institute of the United States studied the impact of combat stress on the immune system. Soldiers were subjected to a variety of physical and psychological stressors for a long period of time as the forces mobilized. The typical impact is to cause the host immune defensive function to reduce, so soldiers increased susceptibility to infectious diseases, resulting in attrition and military combat effectiveness reduced. The adaptive mechanism of stress affecting immune function is not clear. The knowledge gained by the institute will provide an important basis for the development of drug measures to combat immunodeficiency caused by intimidation. Its researchers demonstrate that pituitary stress response hormone prolactin plays a crucial role in maintaining normal immune function. Prolactin
