| Feeling lonely can make you sick.Doctors have long known that loneliness is associated with heart troubles, viral infections, and higher death rates.What they didn't know is how this feeling causes illness. A study in the September issue of the online journal Genome Biology suggests that loneliness actually affects the very core of our bodies-our genes. In a small population of patients, researchers surveyed more than 20,000 genes using DNA skills to compare how the genes of lonely  and nonlonely individuals express themselves in molecular (分子) processes and, ultimately, in personal health.They found that gene expression is different at 209 sites in chronically lonely people and that many of those changes fit a pattern of elevated immune activation, inflammation (炎症), and depressed response to infection."We now have a molecular framework for understanding the relationship between social experience and physical health, "explains the study's lead author, Steve Cole. The study found that loneline  ss decreases the response of some body receptors, cutting off the immune control and anti－inflammatory effects of the stress－related hormone that also helps regulate the conversion of carbohydrates (碳水化合物) to energy.The depressed response of the stress－related hormone concurs with the known effects of loneliness and provides a potential target for treatment. "This study-the first to link feelings with gene changes-is in some sense groundbreaking, "says Emma Adam, an associate professor at Northwestern University."It fills in the black box." According to John Cacioppo, an author of the study and a psychologist from the University of Chicago, the work suggests that loneliness is a warning sign, much like physical pain."This very process of feeling bad because of disconnection contributes to what it means to be human, "he says."It makes us care for other people and want to reconnect when we're disconnected." |
