Journal ArticleDOI
Dissociation between reactivity of the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis and the sympathetic-adrenal-medullary system to repeated psychosocial stress.
TL;DR: Although HPA responses quickly habituate, the sympathetic nervous system shows rather uniform activation patterns with repeated exposure to psychosocial challenge, which concludes that habituation to Psychosocial stress seems to be specific for a given response system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Compliance with saliva sampling protocols: electronic monitoring reveals invalid cortisol daytime profiles in noncompliant subjects.
TL;DR: A significant number of subjects did not obtain saliva samples reliably in an ambulatory setting and can partially invalidate the cortisol results and mask potential differences between subject groups of interest.
Journal ArticleDOI
Psychosocial stress-induced activation of salivary alpha-amylase: an indicator of sympathetic activity?
TL;DR: It is shown here that sAA activity is increased by acute psychosocial stress and that increases in sAA correlate with increases in norepinephrine, and that it exhibits a stable circadian pattern that mirrors that of salivary cortisol.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: A first comprehensive meta-analysis of hair cortisol concentrations research based on aggregated data from a total of 124 (sub)samples reveals positive associations of HCC with stress-related anthropometric measures and hemodynamic measures (systolic blood pressure).
Journal ArticleDOI
Hair as a retrospective calendar of cortisol production-Increased cortisol incorporation into hair in the third trimester of pregnancy.
TL;DR: C cortisol measured in human hair can be a valid reflection of increased cortisol production for a period of up to six months, probably reflecting increased cortisol levels throughout the third trimester of pregnancy.
