Answer to Question 1

ANS: B, C, D, E, F
The stress-age syndrome includes alterations in the excitability of structures of the limbic system and hypothalamus; rise of the blood concentration of catecholamines, ADH, ACTH, and cortisol; decrease in testosterone, thyroxine, and others; alterations of opioid peptides; immunodepression and pattern of chronic inflammation; alterations in lipoproteins; hypercoagulation of the blood; and free-radical damage of cells.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, E
Repression is associated with lower monocyte counts, higher eosinophil counts, higher serum glucose, and more self-reported medication reactions in medical outpatients. It is not associated with increased pulse rates and glucose increases, rather than decreases.
