Military operational stress is known to increase adrenal hormones and inflammatory cytokines, while decreasing hormones associated with the anabolic milieu and neuroendocrine system. Less is known about the role of extracellular vesicles (EVs), a form of cell-to-cell communication, in military operational stress and their relationship to circulating hormones. The purpose of this study was to characterize the neuroendocrine, cytokine, and EV response to an intense. 24-h selection course known as the Naval Special Warfare (NSW) Screener and identify associations between EVs and cytokines...
