After some time the first signs of breast cancer - and before others, tumors developed in rodents, kept in isolation from others. I live alone in laboratory animals, the whole process of the disease has progressed faster than were in the pack. As it turned out, because of loneliness in the body of rodents disturbed metabolism related to the processing of fatty acids. In addition, the single organism of laboratory animals was much more vulnerable to stress, including, and hormonal levels.
As scientists believe, something similar happens in humans. This loneliness generally affects the healing from various diseases, wound healing, speeds up and provokes the appearance of mental illness, and reduces the overall quality of life. However, researchers are still unable to accurately answer the question why loneliness has on people and animals such influence.
