Objective: Stress causes negative effects at all the body especially the heart. As a result of the damage of secreting various hormones which stress cause to secrete in the body. During the stress, respiration, tension, heart speed and catecholamine level increase. All these can be considered as a risk factor for the heart disease. In our study, we aimed to examine stress’ possible histopathological changes on heart muscle.Methods: Eight adult femal...

Objective: Stress, which is seen prevalently among people, causes a general situation of tension via damaging the balance of the body. During stress, it is known that, at the first, central systems, like nerve system, heart and blood circulation system, nutritive system, genital systems and adrenalin tissues are also affected. In this study, kidney was histopathologically examined on the rat model in order to investigate how and in what level the kidneys are affected from the ...

Objective: Placental lactogen (PL) produced by the placenta stimulates lipolysis and fatty acid metabolism in the mother. PL is an anti-insulin hormon. It adjusts the metabolic state of the mother during pregnancy to make easy the energy supply of the fetus. It also reduces maternal tissue sensitivity to insulin, leading to gestational diabetes. A moderate hypertriglyceridaemia due to uncontrolled diabetes may be noticeably worsen by the gestation. As a result, acute hypertrig...

Objective: Unexplained infertility is 15% among all infertility cases. Many forms of stress, including psychological and physical can effect male fertility and reproductive activity. In this study, we aimed to investigate possible histopathological effects of physical and psychological stress on rat testis at light microscopic level.Methods: Eight adult, male Sprague Dawley rats were used in this study. Rats were randomly divided as control (n=4) ...

Objective: Stress has been linked to several diseases. In the course of stress; blood sugar. cortisol and catecholamine levels increase. Visceral hypersensitivity will increase due to catecholaminergic discharges leading to an over-induction of the intrapancreatic secretion. A chronically stress has a role in the induction of insulin resistance in different tissues and pancreas begins to release excessive insulin causing burned out pancreas. For this reason, it becomes insulin...
