Abstract
Psychological stress has long been known to reduce adaptability to inflammatory challenges, although the precise mechanism has remained elusive. In a recent issue of Cell, Qing et al. (2020) demonstrate that psychological stress induces secretion of IL-6 from brown adipose tissue, which promotes hepatic gluconeogenesis, and reduces host fitness to inflammatory insults.
