Component

Self-reported stress, cognition and HPA response in healthy volunteers

Self-reported stress, cognition and HPA response in healthy volunteers. Species, exposure and limitations are retained in each linked claim.

1 recorded relationships. Experimental role, claim status and evidence remain attached to each record.

How nutrients influence it

Every nutrient with a recorded effect on this component, credited to the nutrient that acted rather than the chapter that recorded it. Open a nutrient to see the findings and the conditions they were measured under.

How nutrients reach it in more than one step

Chains of two or more recorded steps that end here, grouped by the nutrient they start from. Each step is a separate finding, so a chain is a route a mechanism could take, not proof that it does.

What acts on it

  1. In an 8-week randomized placebo-controlled cross-over design with 29 healthy male volunteers there was no overall effect of probiotic treatment on measures of mood, anxiety, stress or sleep quality and no significant effect over placebo on subjective stress measures or the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal response to a socially evaluated cold pressor test, visuospatial memory performance, attention switching, rapid visual information processing, emotion recognition and associated electroencephalographic measures did not show improvement over placebo, and no significant anti-inflammatory effects were seen as assessed by basal and stimulated cytokine levels.
