Abstract
By acting on the neuroendocrine system during the stress response, lif e events may greatly affect homeostasis and favor the appearance of di sease. Here, we describe a relationship between stressful life events and premature ovarian failure. From a mechanic point of view, we sugge st an autoimmune origin for such premature ovarian failure on the basi s of the role of cytokines in folliculogenesis and of their increased production during stressful life events.
