Stress and Reproduction: Physiologic and Pathophysiologic Interactions between the Stress and Reproductive Axes

  • Chapter
Mechanisms of Physical and Emotional Stress

Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology ((AEMB,volume 245))

Abstract

Stress is a ubiquitous feature of life. Although its prevalence as a factor in health and disease is difficult to ascertain, it is arguably a significant risk to the well being of the overall population. Stress and the response to stressful events, on the other hand, have played an important part in human survival and evolution. From earliest times, people have dealt with harsh elements and adverse situations requiring both behavioral and physiological responses to protect themselves and their societies.
