“…This clearly being the dominant paradigm, it may become overlooked that there is a body of literature showing that many stressful situations do not necessarily elicit a substantial cardiovascular response and may even be associated with a reduced HR (85)(86)(87)(88)(89). What becomes clear from our study is that such stressors are nevertheless capable of inducing robust biochemical changes with a clear effect on immunological functioning.…”

Objective: Biochemical host defenses at mucosal sites, such as the oral cavity, play a key role in the regulation of microbial ecology and the prevention of infectious disease. These biochemical factors have distinct features, some of which benefit the host and some that benefit bacteria. We investigated the effects of acute stress on the salivary levels of the carbohydrate structure sulfo-Lewis a (sulfo-Le a ), which is linked to the mucosal glycoprotein MUC5B. Sulfo-Le a was recently identified as an adhesion molecule for Helicobacter pylori; therefore, we also measured saliva-mediated adherence (ex vivo) of H. pylori. The oral cavity is suspected to be involved in the transmission of H. pylori. Methods: Saliva was collected from 17 undergraduates before (baseline), during (stress), and after (recovery) exposure to a video showing surgical procedures. In addition, blood pressure, an impedance cardiogram, and an electrocardiogram were recorded. Results: During stressor exposure, participants reported increased state anxiety. In addition, stroke volume increased and heart rate decreased. The stressor induced a strong increase in salivary sulfo-Le a concentration (U/ml), sulfo-Le a output (U/min), sulfo-Le a /total protein ratio (U/mg protein), and saliva-mediated adherence (ex vivo) of H. pylori. As expected, sulfo-Le a concentration correlated with the adherence of H. pylori (r ϭ 0.72, p Ͻ .05). It was demonstrated that the observed adherence was induced by MUC5B and that the carbohydrate structure sulfo-Le a contributed to this process. Conclusions: Our study demonstrated a direct link between stress-mediated biochemical changes and altered host-microbe interactions in humans. Increased bacterial adherence may be a contributing factor in the observed relationship between stress and susceptibility to infectious disease.

“…For phenylethyl alcohol higher values in the alpha bands were expected on the right side, (iii) Odor presentation can affect autonomic variables. Because a negatively valenced state has been associated with higher skin conductance and higher heart rate (Ekman et al, 1983;Stemmler, 1989;Hubert and De Jong-Meyer, 1991), we expected increase in both variables after presentation of valeric acid and a decrease after phenylethyl alcohol. Furthermore, valeric acid was expected to consistently induce skin conductance responses.…”

Electrocortical and Autonomic Alteration by Administration of a Pleasant and an Unpleasant Odor

The present study was designed to investigate whether there is a consistent response in ongoing EEG due to repetitive olfactory stimulation. Two odors of different hedonic quality were presented bilaterally to five male subjects at suprathreshold levels. A room-air blank served as the control stimulus. Each odor was presented six times to each subject in each of three sessions. Electrocortical activity, heart rate, skin conductance and breathing cycle were recorded continuously. EEG variables assessed were difference scores of absolute power in the frequency bands theta, alphai, alpha2 and betai at eight locations. Phenylethyl alcohol was rated pleasant, while valeric acid was judged unpleasant. Within 8 s after stimulus release, valeric acid increased alpha2 power, whereas phenylethyl alcohol did not. No further frequency bands were affected by olfactory stimulation. These findings suggest that smelling an unpleasant odor leads to a cortical deactivation. Chem. Senses 20: 505-515, 1995.

“…Among the most common techniques found in experimental research are the use of emotion imagery (see, e.g., Lang, Bradley, & Cuthbert, 1998), film clips portraying emotionally evocative material (e.g., Hubert & de Jong-Meyer, 1993), viewing of emotional facial expressions (e.g., Carr, Iacoboni, Dubeau, Mazziotta, & Lenzi, 2003), forced expression of emotional facial expressions (e.g., Ekman, Levenson, & Friesen, 1983), and autobiographical recall and generation of personally relevant emotional memories (e.g., Pitman, Orr, Forgue, de Jong, & Claiborn, 1987). Each technique raises unique questions.…”

The present study combined measures of regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) using positron emission tomography (PET) with measures of the autonomic nervous system using skin conductance (SC), heart rate (HR), and the high frequency band of heart rate variability (HRV) in ten healthy participants who were exposed to autobiographical scripts of memories for three target emotions: anger, happiness, and sadness. According to the results, anger was the only emotion to show a significant increase in sympathetic activity, accompanied by a significant decrease in HRV when compared with a neutral script. Anger was also the only emotion to show significant changes in rCBF in the prefrontal cortex. By contrast, the results for the happy and sad conditions showed no significant increase in sympathetic activity and no changes in rCBF in the prefrontal cortex in comparison with the neutral script. The findings suggest that a relative increase in sympathetic activity with a reciprocal decrease in parasympathetic activity may be necessary to generate frontal activity in autobiographical recall of emotions.
