Acute psychological stress induces systemic and mucosal proinflammatory responses, and this might be particularly detrimental to patients with ulcerative colitis (UC), according to researchers.

In the current study, the researchers examined the effects of acute psychologic stress on systemic and rectal mucosal inflammatory measures in patients with inactive UC.
