Blunted endocrine response to a combined physical-cognitive stressor in adults with early life adversity KU Leuven
The negative health effects of early life adversity (ELA) continue long into adulthood. Changes in the physiological response to psychosocial stressors have been proposed to mediate this effect. However, many previous studies have come to contradicting conclusions as to whether ELA induces a long-term increase or decrease in stress reactivity. Therefore, we tested the association of ELA exposure and adult stress reactivity in a sample of early ...
Proinflammatory T Cell Status Associated with Early Life Adversity KU Leuven
Early life adversity (ELA) has been associated with an increased risk for diseases in which the immune system plays a critical role. The ELA immune phenotype is characterized by inflammation, impaired cellular immunity, and immunosenescence. However, data on cell-specific immune effects are largely absent. Additionally, stress systems and health behaviors are altered in ELA, which may contribute to the generation of the ELA immune phenotype. The ...
Childhood adversity and psychosis: examining whether the association is due to genetic confounding using a monozygotic twin differences approach KU Leuven
To test whether the association between childhood adversity and positive and negative psychotic experiences is due to genetic confounding.
