Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of cortisol in hair--state of the art and future directions.
TL;DR: Evidence on a recent methodological development assumed to provide a considerable advancement in the analysis of cortisol in hair is discussed, which holds great promise to significantly enhance current understanding on the role of steroid hormones in psychoimmunological research.
Journal ArticleDOI
Human salivary alpha-amylase reactivity in a psychosocial stress paradigm
Urs M. Nater,Nicolas Rohleder,Jens Gaab,Simona Berger,Andreas Jud,Clemens Kirschbaum,Ulrike Ehlert +6 more
TL;DR: The role of salivary alpha-amylase as a promising candidate for a reliable, noninvasive marker of psychosocial stress is discussed and found to corroborate findings from other studies that showed increased levels of alpha-Amylase before and after psychological stress.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sex-specific effects of social support on cortisol and subjective responses to acute psychological stress.
TL;DR: Preliminary evidence is provided for sex-specific patterns of social support efficacy to acute psychological stress with respect to adrenocortical responses and women rated both stranger and partner support attempts more favorably than did men.
Journal ArticleDOI
Acute HPA axis responses, heart rate, and mood changes to psychosocial stress (TSST) in humans at different times of day
TL;DR: It is concluded that comparable HPA axis and heart rate stress responses to psychosocial stress can be measured in the morning and afternoon and the finding that the TSST-induced mood change was differentially affected by time of day requires further exploration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Determinants of the diurnal course of salivary alpha-amylase
Urs M. Nater,Urs M. Nater,Nicholas Rohleder,Nicholas Rohleder,Wolff Schlotz,Ulrike Ehlert,Clemens Kirschbaum +6 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that diurnal profiles of salivary alpha-amylase are relatively robust against momentary influences and therefore may prove useful in the assessment of sympathetic nervous system activity.
