Serum uric acid and cholesterol variability. A comprehensive view of underwater demolition team training

Psychologic Correlates of Serum Cholesterol in Man

“…The consistently high and positive coeffi- dents of correlation found between subjects' depressive mood scores and their serum cholesterol level were in full agreement with previous work (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17). Separate blood-drawing and questionnaire testing sessions throughout the training period demonstrated often statistically significant correlations, regardless of the men's mean serum cholesterol levels which changed throughout the course (16,17).…”

“…It has been found repeatedly that subjects' serum uric acid concentrations show positive correlations with their levels of motivation to do well in school, in nearfuture job seeking and in UDT training (16,17,21,22). However, it has been a relatively new finding that subjects show consistent negative correlations between their levels of motivation and their serum cholesterol concentrations (15,16).…”

“…A description of this sample and the class from which it was drawn has been presented in previous publications (16,17). A description of this sample and the class from which it was drawn has been presented in previous publications (16,17).…”

“…As described in previous reports, the UDT trainees were kept together during the first 2 months of their training program (16,17). During this time, the men had a total of 21 separate psychologic testing and blood-drawing sessions.…”

Household fear of deportation in Mexican‐origin families: Relation to body mass index percentiles and salivary uric acid

“…Lyngdoh and colleagues (2013), in the only longitudinal study of serum UA in adults, found a quadratic relationship between serum UA and social phobia (a form of chronic stress), where elevated levels of serum UA were related to lower social phobia only up to a certain concentration and period of time, after which increasing serum UA levels were no longer protective and were correlated with increased odds of patients reporting social phobia. There is also some indication that there is a difference in serum UA levels if people anticipate the stress, where unanticipated stress is significantly related to lower levels of serum UA (Rahe & Arthur, 1967;Rahe, Arthur & Clark 1968;Zir, McHugh, Rahe, Arthur, & Rubin, 1973). Although researchers are not sure whether UA is a cause or consequence of emotion-related psychopathology, Goodman and colleagues (2016) found that salivary uric acid (sUA) levels predicted hippocampal regulation of emotion during acute psychosocial stress.…”
