Journal ArticleDOI
Hair as a long-term retrospective cortisol calendar in orang-utans (Pongo spp.): new perspectives for stress monitoring in captive management and conservation.
TL;DR: HCC were found to be higher in orang-utans, with perceived long-term stressful periods, and segmental hair analyses revealed that HCC was stable along the hair shaft even when hair reached >40cm, suggesting that using HCC may provide an ideal non-invasive tool for both captive management as well as conservation in orangs and potentially other great apes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Children under stress - COMT genotype and stressful life events predict cortisol increase in an acute social stress paradigm.
Diana Armbruster,Anett Mueller,Alexander Strobel,Klaus-Peter Lesch,Burkhard Brocke,Clemens Kirschbaum +5 more
TL;DR: The stress-induced activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and the effects of COMT and SLEs on the cortisol response in 119 healthy children further underscore the essential and differential role of genetic variation and environmental factors on stress responsivity.
Journal ArticleDOI
A single administration of dehydroepiandrosterone does not enhance memory performance in young healthy adults, but immediately reduces cortisol levels

Journal ArticleDOI
Predicting the failure of disc surgery by a hypofunctional HPA axis: evidence from a prospective study on patients undergoing disc surgery
Andrea Geiss,Nicolas Rohleder,Clemens Kirschbaum,Klaus Steinbach,Heinz W. Bauer,Fernand Anton +5 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that chronically stressed patients are at a higher risk for a poor surgical outcome as their reduced cortisol secretion promotes the postoperative ongoing synthesis of proinflammatory cytokines.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Reaction to Social Stress in Social Phobia: Discordance between Physiological and Subjective Parameters
TL;DR: The results suggest that the excessive self-reported stress in SP is not reflected by a respective biological stress response, which apparently shows neither an extreme form of focused fear reactivity nor excessive defensive impairment.
