Thus, researchers are unclear whether and to what extent elevated CRP levels are associated with psychological distress and depression in the general population. C-reactive protein (CRP) is a commonly used marker of inflammatory disease when CRP levels exceed 10 mg/L.
General Adaptation Syndrome. Selye defined stress as: âStress is the nonspecific response of the body to any demand, whether it is caused by, or results in, pleasant or unpleasant conditions.â.
