Salivary cortisol : an alternative to serum cortisol determinations in dynamic function tests

TLDR
The more pronounced cortisol response in saliva than in serum and its closer correlation with adreno-corticotrophic hormone offer advantages over serum cortisol, suggesting salivary cortisol measurement may be used as an alternative parameter in dynamic endocrine tets.Abstract:
Salivary cortisol was measured as an alternative to serum cortisol as a marker for adrenocortical function following insulin tolerance test, corticotropin-releasing-hormone stimulation and adreno-c ...read more

Exploration of the awakening cortisol response in relation to diurnal cortisol secretory activity.
TL;DR: A comprehensive study of the diurnal free cortisol cycle designed to analyse its components and to investigate their reliability and inter-relatedness is reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Association between time of awakening and diurnal cortisol secretory activity.
TL;DR: The diurnal cortisol cycle, which is synchronised to awakening, is significantly related to awakening time and support the notion of a close association between suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) control of both awakening and cortisol secretory activity.

Association of psychological and physiological measures of stress in health-care professionals during an 8-week mindfulness meditation program: mindfulness in practice

TL;DR: Psychometric results present a strong case for additional clinical trials of MM to reduce stress for health-care professionals, and correlations between changes in these measures, were weak and not statistically significant.

Cortisol as a marker for improvement in mindfulness-based stress reduction
TL;DR: The available literature on the role of cortisol as a physiological marker for improvement with regards to mindfulness practice is reviewed, and recommendations for future study designs are made.
Adrenal status assessed by direct radioimmunoassay of cortisol in whole saliva or parotid saliva. [Tritium tracer techniques]
TL;DR: In this paper, a direct radioimmunoassay for cortisol in 10 volumes of parotid saliva or whole saliva was described, with a lower limit of sensitivity of 4 pg per assay tube.

Salivary Cortisol: A Better Measure of Adrenal Cortical Function than Serum Cortisol
TL;DR: It is suggested that salivary Cortisol is a more appropriate measure for the clinical assessment of adrenocortical function than is serum Cortisol.

Steroids in Saliva for Assessing Endocrine Function
TL;DR: Since saliva samples can be collected at frequent intervals by both adults and children, they facilitate short term dynamic tests, pharmacokinetic analyses, and studies of chronobiological changes and measurement of steroids in saliva is attractive.

Cortisol in Saliva - Reference Ranges and Relation to Cortisol in Serum
TL;DR: The satisfactory precision of the analysis and the simple non-invasive sampling procedure suggest that saliva may be used for cortisol measurements in situations where blood sampling is difficult to perform.

TL;DR: A com-plex set of mechanisms normally operates to an-tagonize the action of insulin, thereby limiting the extent to which the blood glucose falls and causing a rapid return to original levels.
