“…When comparing the adipokine levels, we did not detect significant changes in the adiponectin concentrations between the examined groups of females, but we found significant changes in the leptin levels. Several studies have shown that stress can influence the leptin serum levels, but different responses were found depending on the stress model, the stress duration of stress and the species (Patterson-Buckendahl et al 2007;Jeong et al 2013;deOliveira et al 2014;Koelsch et al 2016). In our experiment, restraint stress decreased the serum leptin concentrations in mothers with high and medium amounts of body fat, but not in mothers with low amounts of body fat.…”

The effect of maternal stress on blastocyst quality, with respect to maternal metabolic status, was investigated in this study. We exposed female mice with different amounts of body fat to restraint stress and examined their blastocyst quality. Blood concentrations of corticosterone, leptin, adiponectin, insulin and glucose were measured in these females. Significantly lower stress-induced corticosterone elevations were observed in females with high and low amounts of body fat, indicating that the stress response was altered in these females. The basal leptin concentrations were significantly higher in females with high amounts of body fat than in females with low amounts of body fat, and stress induced different responses in these two groups of females. Our results showed that maternal stress can significantly increase the proportion of blastocysts that contain dead (apoptotic) cells in females with high and medium amounts of body fat. In females with low amounts of body fat, the proportion of blastocysts containing dead (apoptotic) cells was already increased before the stress exposure, and application of stress did not significantly change this parameter. Our results showed that the effects of maternal stress on early embryos can depend on the actual physiological status of the maternal organism exposed to stress.

“…The amygdala is part of the limbic system, and it regulates our emotions and affects our vital functions, such as heart rate and breathing. One study reported that when listening to music, this evoked a positive mood and could affect the recovery of hormones and cytokines in a positive way after acute stress in healthy adult volunteers .…”

AimPaediatric haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is a stressful treatment with an impact on health‐related quality of life (HRQoL), and supportive interventions are needed. This study evaluated the effects of music therapy during and after HSCT.MethodsThis was a randomised clinical pilot study of 29 patients aged 0–17 years who underwent HSCT at Karolinska University Hospital in Huddinge, Stockholm, Sweden, between February 2013 and May 2017. The music therapy group comprised 14 children who received the music therapy during hospitalisation. Fifteen children in the control group received the intervention after discharge. Music therapy was offered twice a week for four to six weeks. The patients’ HRQoL, pain and mood were evaluated at admission, discharge and after six months. The instruments for HRQoL included the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory 4.0 generic core scales.ResultsThe scales showed that the music therapy group had a higher estimated physical function (adjusted p = 0.04) at the time of discharge, and the control group showed improved results after the intervention in all domains (p = 0.015).ConclusionDespite the small sample, we found improved HRQoL after music therapy, which suggests that it could be a complementary intervention during and after paediatric HSCT.

“…Music has many promising neurological and physiological effects that may be indicative of its effective use in the fight against sleep loss. In some clinical populations listening to music has been suggested to reduce anxiety [ 17 , 18 ] and the subjectively negative effects of physical pain [ 19 ]. Potential mechanisms for effect are ascribed to the modulation of sympathetic nervous system activity [ 20 ] and levels of the stress hormone cortisol [ 18 , 21 , 22 ].…”

The music that helps people sleep and the reasons they believe it works: A mixed methods analysis of online survey reports

et al. 2018

Sleep loss is a widespread problem with serious physical and economic consequences. Music can impact upon physical, psychological and emotional states, which may explain anecdotal reports of its success as an everyday sleep aid. However, there is a lack of systematic data on how widely it is used, why people opt for music as a sleep aid, or what music works; hence the underlying drivers to music-sleep effects remain unclear. We investigated music as a sleep aid within the general public via a mixed methods data online survey (n = 651) that scored musicality, sleep habits, and open text responses on what music helps sleep and why. In total, 62% of respondents stated that they used music to help them sleep. They reported fourteen musical genres comprising 545 artists. Linear modelling found stress, age, and music use as significant predictors of sleep quality (PSQI) scores. Regression tree modelling revealed that younger people with higher musical engagement were significantly more likely to use music to aid sleep. Thematic analysis of the open text responses generated four themes that described why people believe music helps sleep: music offers unique properties that stimulate sleep (Provide), music is part of a normal sleep routine (Habit), music induces a physical or mental state conducive to sleep (State), and music blocks an internal or external stimulus that would otherwise disrupt sleep (Distract). This survey provides new evidence into the relationship between music and sleep in a population that ranged widely in age, musicality, sleep habits and stress levels. In particular, the results highlight the varied pathways of effect between music and sleep. Diversity was observed both in music choices, which reflected idiosyncratic preferences rather than any consistent musical structure, and in the reasons why music supports good sleep, which went far beyond simple physical/mental relaxation.
