---- "Steptoe and Brydon speculate on the reasons why acute stress responses may raise fasting serum lipids. One possibility may be that stress encourages the body to produce more energy in the form of metabolic fuels - fatty acids and glucose. These substances require the liver to produce and secrete more LDL, which is the principal carrier of cholesterol in the blood. Another reason may be that stress interferes with lipid clearance and a third possibility could be that stress increases production of a number of inflammatory processes like, interleukin 6, tumor necrosis factor and C-Reactive protein that also increase lipid production.

" What are the harmful health effects associated with stress-induced obesity?
Chronic stress can contribute to several harmful physiological events. When body tissues are exposed to high levels of cortisol for extended periods of time, some cellular and tissue alterations may occur. High levels of cortisol cause fat stores and excess circulating fat to be relocated and deposited deep in the abdomen, which left unchecked can develop into or enhance obesity. In addition, hypertension (high blood pressure), hyperlipidemia (elevated lipids), and hyperglycemia (elevated glucose) have been linked to elevated cortisol levels (10,14). Individuals with a high waist-to-hip ratio (which identifies visceral obesity) are at a greater risk for developing cardiovascular disease, type II diabetes mellitus, and cerebrovascular disease (8)."

"Metabolic and Long-Term Health Effects of Elevated Cortisol Levels
- Metabolic effect (cortisol-induced) Chronic health condition
- Increased appetite, accelerated muscle catabolism (breakdown), suppressed fat oxidation, enhanced fat storage Obesity
- Elevated cholesterol and triglyceride levels Heart disease
- Elevated blood pressure Heart disease
- Alterations in brain neurochemistry (involving dopamine and serotonin) Depression/anxiety
- Physical atrophy (shrinkage) of brain cells Alzheimer's disease
- Insulin resistance and elevated blood-sugar levels Diabetes
- Accelerated bone resorption (breakdown) Osteoporosis
- Reduced levels of testosterone and estrogen Suppressed libido (reduced sex drive)
- Suppression of immune-cell number and activity Frequent colds/flu/infection
- Reduced synthesis of brain neurotransmitters Memory/concentration problems http://cortisolconnection.com/ch6_1.php
