“…The relationship between stress and sIgA has been examined in research studies using saliva samples since the early days of stress research. The sIgA concentration increases by 20% to 100% due to acute stress, such as mental arithmetic or a verbal presentation, and this increase lasts from just before the initiation of the stress to immediately after the end of the stress [18,19]. In contrast, although there are a limited number of reports on the subject, the sIgA concentration has been reported to fall depending on the type of stress, such as viewing a terrifying image or being immersed in cold water [19].…”

BackgroundThe evaluation and management of stress are important for the prevention of both depression and cardiovascular disease. In addition, the maintenance of the oral condition of the elderly is essential to enable them to stay healthy, especially to prevent aspiration pneumonia and improve mental health in an aging society. Therefore, we examined the efficacy of singing on the oral condition, mental health status, and immunity of the elderly to determine if singing could contribute to the improvement of their physical condition.MethodsForty-four subjects (10 men, 34 women), aged 60 years or older, participated in this study. The efficacy of singing on mental health status and immunocompetence was examined by swallowing function, oral condition, blood, and saliva tests, as well as through questionnaires taken before and after singing.ResultsThe results showed that the amount of saliva increased and the level of cortisol, a salivary stress marker, decreased after singing. The Visual Analog Scale (VAS) scores for feeling refreshed, comfortable, pleasurable, light-hearted, relieved, and relaxed; the tension and confusion subscale score; and the total mood disturbance (TMD) score of the Profile of Mood States (POMS) all showed improvements. Furthermore, the same tendencies were shown regardless of whether or not the subjects liked singing.ConclusionsOur results suggest that singing can be effective in improving the mental health and oral condition of the elderly.

“…Since its development, this hypothesis has guided research on hypertension, pointing to the brief physiological response that accompanies the occurrence of a laboratory stressor (e.g., Carroll, Phillips, Der, Hunt, & Benzeval, 2011;Carroll et al, 2012;Wright, O'Brien, Hazi, & Kent, 2014). Among these, the cold pressor task, requiring participants to put their hand in cold water, or mental arithmetic, such as counting backward under time pressure, received the most attention (e.g., Menkes et al, 1989;Willemsen et al, 1998). Results have been mixed; in some cases, greater reactivity to stress was associated with the development of clinical cardiovascular events over time (e.g., Carroll et al, 2001Carroll et al, , 2011Chida & Steptoe, 2010;Kamarck et al, 1997); in other cases, the hypothesis was not supported (e.g.…”

Brain‐heart interaction in perseverative cognition

The move from the concept of homeostasis to that of allostasis has led reactivity stress research to widen the object of its investigation: from the brief physiological response that occurs when one is facing a stressor to what happens when one is anticipating or recovering from a stressor. A paradigmatic example is represented by perseverative cognition, during which human beings react "as if" they were constantly facing a concrete stressor. The core idea behind this review is that the cognitive inflexibility that characterizes perseverative cognition is reflected in both our body (by increased autonomic nervous system rigidity assessed by heart rate variability; HRV) and our brain (by reduced prefrontal-amygdala functional connectivity). This is a review of studies conducted in different settings (laboratory, daily life), populations (healthy, major depression, generalized anxiety), location (United States, Europe), and age groups (children, adults) that consistently replicated the association between autonomic, subjective, and behavioral measures of cognitive inflexibility during perseverative cognition. Moreover, compelling neuroimaging data suggest that HRV reduction from pre- to post-induction of perseverative cognition is associated with both structural and functional brain abnormalities reflecting impaired prefrontal inhibitory control over subcortical structures (e.g., diminished prefrontal-amygdala functional connectivity). The integration of neuroscience techniques with clinical autonomic research has advanced our understanding of the neurobiology of brain-heart interaction during perseverative cognition, potentially yielding to more effective treatment packages. This is clinically relevant if one considers that perseverative cognition is a pervasive transdiagnostic factor that carries prognostic risk for both psychological and somatic health.

“…2). Nevertheless, there were also contradicting study which reported that cold temperature has been associated with the increased [16], no changed [17] and decreased [18,19] in SIgA responses. Other investigators also reported there were actually a significant increase [20,21] in SIgA after exercise.…”

This study aims to determine the effects of prolonged exercise in the heat (31°C) and cool (18°C) environments on salivary Immunoglobulin A (SIgA) among recreational athletes. Thirteen healthy male participants (age: 20.9 ± 1.3 years old) were recruited and randomised in this cross-over study. In this study, participants performed the exercise trials in the heat environment at 31°C first followed by another exercise trial in the cool environment trial at 18°C or vice versa with one week of recovery period. Physiological parameters (heart rate, body weight changes and oxygen uptake) as well as room temperature and relative humidity were recorded. Cool water (3 ml.kg-1 body weight) was given to the participants at every 20 min during both exercise trials. Saliva samples were collected to calculate the saliva flow rate and analysed for salivary Immunoglobulin A (SIgA) concentrations and secretion rate. Paired t-test and two-way ANOVA with repeated measures were performed to analyse the data. The results revealed that saliva flow rate, SIgA concentration, and SIgA secretion rate did not significantly different between exercise trial in the heat and in the cool environments. However, prolonged exercise significantly decreased (p < 0.05) saliva flow rate in both trials with the values return to baseline 1 h post exercise. Salivary IgA concentration and secretion rate were not affected by prolonged running. As a conclusion, SIgA responses did not affected by ambient/room temperature. In addition, prolonged exercise with adequate fluid intake during exercise did not supress SIgA responses thus may not increase infection risk among athletes.
