This study demonstrates, in humans and in rodents, that mental stress acutely activates NF-κB in mononuclear cells and triggers the release of pro-inflammatory mediators.

The administration of BDNF to obese diabetic rodents leads to weight loss and improved glucose tolerance. This demonstrates a strong link between BDNF (a neurotrophin known to modulate stress responses) and metabolism.
