Effects of stress on methyltransferase synthesis: an important DNA repair enzyme
R Glaser et al. Health Psychol. 1985.
Abstract
The enhancement of tumor development following acute stress has been demonstrated in some animal studies. This study was designed to explore mechanisms that would account in part for the relationship between stress and tumor development at the level of DNA repair, using a rat model. Forty-four rats were given the carcinogen dimethylnitrosamine in their drinking water, and half were randomly assigned to a rotational stress condition. The levels of methyltransferase, a DNA repair enzyme induced in response to carcinogen damage, were significantly lower in spleens from the stressed animals. These data suggest that stress may impair DNA repair.
