Experimental study by researchers from the US proved that loneliness can be a factor in the development of cancer - those who are lonely, dangerous disease occurs and develops faster. Experts are convinced that their results are very important for oncologists: the detection of cancer, they should pay attention to whether a person alone.
As proof of the legitimacy of his claim researchers report the results of the experiment involving mutant mice which, after genetic manipulation have increased risk of developing breast cancer. After that rodents were placed in different cells so that some of the animals were in the chamber alone, foreign media reported.
The probability of developing cancer in mice was very high, so the first signs of the disease gave themselves felt for quite a short period of time quickly. What is significant, sitting alone rodents develop breast cancer much earlier than mice that were in cages in groups and pairs.
Faster development of the disease in mice single compared with other animals was accompanied by a more significant number of different changes at the cellular level. The researchers found that mice single produce more stress hormones, and are easily damaged metabolism.
What is the background of all adverse changes in the animal became the impetus for the development of cancer, scientists still can not answer exactly. It is known that cancer is characterized by degeneration of benign to malignant cells, and how loneliness affects this process is yet to be explored. However, the fact that singles are more prone to cancer, from test no doubt. (READ MORE)
