title: A pilot study of some associations between behavioural stressors and physiological processes in healthy men.
abstract: A study was made of the physiological effects of smoking, psychological stressors, heat, exercise, and fat ingestion on 12 healthy men. Repeated measurements were made of cardiovascular, neuroendocrine, enzyme, lipid, and other variables in all stressor situations. The main findings were that psychological stressors and exercise were associated with more and larger physiological changes than the other stressors, and widespread response differences in addition to those in lipids were identified between subgroups of seven normolipidaemic men and five hypertriglyceridaemic men.
