The Trier Social Stress Test (TSST) increased plasma concentrations of cortisol, interleukin (IL)-6, as well as Profile of Mood States (POMS) emotional distress scores in the study sample as a whole (2a-c). No main effect of group (compassion meditation vs. control) and no group × time interaction were found for cortisol (2a), IL-6 (2b) or POMS emotional distress (2c) responses to the TSST.
