What real stressors do to the body

Published studies that measured a marker before and after a real stressor, such as caregiving, bereavement, disasters, isolation, training or animal models of stress, and the model's library of stressors. Moved here from the mountainside page, which is about recovery time.

Before and after a real stressor

Only rows checked at least against the study's abstract, or computed from open data, are shown; rows from press summaries, theoretical models or not yet verified are left out. Each links to its source. The "recovery time" column marks the rows that measured an acute response and its return, the ones that bear on the mountainside page.

Stressor categories

The model's stressor library, grouped into six categories adapted from Fertig's book; the assignments are the project's. Assignments of exposures the groups do not name outright (air pollution, noise, heat, toxins, substances) are provisional.
