Studies indicate that the well-known effects of stress hormones - ACTH and corticosteroids - are modulated to a large degree by various cytokines - interferons and interleukins. Cytokines: Stress and Immunity provides a comprehensive overview of the role of cytokines in interactions between the neuroendocrine and immune systems, and the clinical implications of these interactions. This book examines all cytokines, including interleukins, interferons, enkephalins, and endorphins. With its focus on the immune, central nervous, and endocrine systems, the book will impact a broad range of scientists, including basic researchers and clinicians.
