Journal ArticleDOI
Testosterone and cognition in elderly men: a single testosterone injection blocks the practice effect in verbal fluency, but has no effect on spatial or verbal memory
Oliver T. Wolf,Ragnar Preut,Dirk H. Hellhammer,Brigitte M. Kudielka,Thomas H. Schürmeyer,Clemens Kirschbaum +5 more
TL;DR: The present finding, that testosterone blocks the practice effect in verbal fluency, partly supports the general idea that sex steroids modulate performance in tests with known gender differences and demonstrates that these effects can occur rapidly.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pituitary and adrenal hormone responses to pharmacological, physical, and psychological stimulation in habitual smokers and nonsmokers.
TL;DR: It is concluded that chronic nicotine consumption may lead to lower responses of multiple hormones not only to nicotine but to a variety of stimuli, and that these alterations do not necessarily affect unstimulated circadian profiles of free cortisol.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prenatal stress diminishes the cytokine response of leukocytes to endotoxin stimulation in juvenile rhesus monkeys.
Christopher L. Coe,Marian Kramer,Marian Kramer,Clemens Kirschbaum,Petra Netter,Eberhard Fuchs +5 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that prenatal disturbance can induce a lasting change in cytokine biology, which persists well beyond the fetal and infant stage.
Journal ArticleDOI
Glucose but not protein or fat load amplifies the cortisol response to psychosocial stress.
Esperanza González-Bono,Nicolas Rohleder,Nicolas Rohleder,Dirk H. Hellhammer,Alicia Salvador,Clemens Kirschbaum,Clemens Kirschbaum +6 more
TL;DR: A central mechanism responsible for regulation of energy balance and HPA axis activation, rather than peripheral mechanisms is suggested, and it is recommended to control for blood glucose levels when studying HPAaxis responsiveness.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hair as a retrospective calendar of cortisol production – increased cortisol incorporation into hair in the third trimester of pregnancy
TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed cortisol in hair donated by mothers with a neonate child (n-Mothers; N=103), mothers with toddlers 3-9 months of age, and control women (n=20) and concluded that cortisol measured in human hair can be a valid reflection of increased cortisol production for up to six months.
