ABSTRACT

The scientific research on the stress and health has been characterized for an increasing and impressive comportment, but having a disproportionate emphasis on the descriptive studies in contrast with the explicative ones of the physiological, biological and biochemical related mechanisms. We reviewed here on the trend of the studies on the stress, where the use of biochemical indicators has been reported. The allostatic load term appeared with preeminence -18 references, including 2014 year-. The role of corticotrophin release hormone, vasopressin and proinflammatory markers were analyzed between the multiple hormonal responses to the stress as biochemical markers on the inflammatory cascade, specifically interleukins 1 and 6, and tumor necrosis factor etiology. Finally, we referenced to an experimental study in which the behavior using biochemical indicators and introducing some molecular biology elements is explained. It was argued why the burnout syndrome, as a consequence of the chronic labor stress, could be recognized as a neuroendocrine syndrome with a known etiology. We concluded on the pertinence of the multidisciplinary investigations and their scope for facing the today's health problems in working population.
