When a person thinks or talks about any offensive either things and situations that irritate him, in his body rises the level of markers of inflammation, say doctors from Ohio University in Athens (USA). Results them research will be presented soon at the annual conference American Psychosomatic Society in Miami. Assistant professor University psychologist Peggy Zokkola and colleagues found that when volunteers were asked to survive in the laboratory exciting event, the level of C-reactive protein in blood plasma increased. This protein is an indicator of inflammation in the tissues. organism, that is, roughly speaking, the higher the concentration C-reactive protein (CRP) in the human body, the more sick he is. This is the first study to establish the relationship between the bad memories and inflammatory processes in those parts of the body who “do not know how to think.” It was previously proven that concentration C-reactive protein in the blood is affected by some mental disorders such as depression, even mild, do not requiring hospitalization or outpatient “on sick leave”. Or ailments manifesting themselves in rejection and / or anger. IN Dr. Zokkol’s experiment was attended by 34 people, this is young, healthy women. They were all asked to chat with two interviewers, as if ladies get a job. And not just talk, and tell about yourself something good and not very, in while people in white coats listened to volunteers with stone persons. Such a “conversation with the wall” even in the most mentally An adequate person is able to cause a stressful reaction. After “executions” half of the subjects ordered to “survive” their performance in thoughts again, and in the second half – remember something positive, for example, a boat trip or a successful purchase in a store. Then both took blood for analysis. Doctors have discovered that CRP concentration is significantly higher in plasma in those at the request of researchers thought about his public speaking, deliberately coldly received by examiners. Inflammation marker level continued to grow for an hour after talking about its pros and cons. Those who, after stress, switched to talking about shopping and other amenities, the concentration of C-reactive protein quickly decreased to normal values. The main source of CRP in the body of man is the liver. Any strong emotional shock, injury, injury or infection provokes the release of excess this protein. Therefore, its concentration in the blood, like ESR, serves as a marker of any inflammatory process and criterion predicting the development of the disease. People with a level C-reactive protein is constantly overstated, at risk of gaining cardiac ailment from which one can die. Doctors from the UK It is believed that such an anomaly of immunity can be transmitted by inheritance.
