Salivary cortisol as a biomarker in stress research.
TLDR
The present paper addresses several psychological and biological variables, which may account for such dissociations, and aims to help researchers to rate the validity and psychobiological significance of salivary cortisol as an HPAA biomarker of stress in their experiments.About:

Chew the Pain Away: Oral Habits to Cope with Pain and Stress and to Stimulate Cognition.
R.A.F. Weijenberg,Frank Lobbezoo +1 more
TL;DR: The acute effects of chewing gum on cognitive performance, stress, and pain have been intensively studied in the last decade but the results have been contradicting, and replication studies proved challenging.

Salivary Cortisol Interactions in Search and Rescue Dogs and their Handlers.
TL;DR: Rescue exams were shown to significantly increase salivary cortisol in both dogs and their handlers, which was most prevalent in female dogs and female handlers.

Changes in salivary cortisol levels as a prognostic predictor in children with anorexia nervosa.
Ikuhiko Shibuya,Shinichiro Nagamitsu,Hisayoshi Okamura,Hiroko Komatsu,Shuichi Ozono,Yushiro Yamashita,Toyojiro Matsuishi +6 more
TL;DR: It is indicated that HPA axis activity could reflect severity of illness, but did not show an accurate neuroendocrine response for mood states, and could therefore be used to predict prognosis and particularly in the short term.

Stress and stressors of medical student near-peer tutors during courses: a psychophysiological mixed methods study
TL;DR: This study is the first to comprehensively quantify tutors’ stress and describe frequent stressors, thus contributing to the development of better peer teaching programmes and tutor qualification training.
Journal ArticleDOI
A randomized, double-masked, placebo-controlled crossover trial on the effects of L-ornithine on salivary cortisol and feelings of fatigue of flushers the morning after alcohol consumption
TL;DR: Taking 400 mg ornithine after alcohol consumption improved various negative feelings and decreased the salivary stress marker cortisol the next morning, and were not caused by an increase in acute alcohol metabolism.

Impact of gender, menstrual cycle phase, and oral contraceptives on the activity of the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis.
TL;DR: Although men seem to have a stronger hypothalamic drive in response to stressful stimulation than women, differences in salivary-free cortisol levels, at least in part, may be explained by estradiol-induced changes in corticosteroid-binding protein levels.

Free Cortisol Levels after Awakening: A Reliable Biological Marker for the Assessment of Adrenocortical Activity
Jens C. Pruessner,Oliver T. Wolf,Dirk H. Hellhammer,Angelika Buske-Kirschbaum,K. von Auer,Silke Jobst,F. Kaspers,Clemens Kirschbaum +7 more
TL;DR: Early morning cortisol levels can be a reliable biological marker for the individual's adrenocortical activity when measured repeatedly with strict reference to the time of awakening, in contrast to single assessments at fixed times.

Maternal care during infancy regulates the development of neural systems mediating the expression of fearfulness in the rat
Christian Caldji,Beth Tannenbaum,Shakti Sharma,Darlene D. Francis,Paul M. Plotsky,Michael J. Meaney +5 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that maternal care during infancy serves to "program" behavioral responses to stress in the offspring by altering the development of the neural systems that mediate fearfulness.
Journal ArticleDOI
Limbic system mechanisms of stress regulation: hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenocortical axis.
TL;DR: The influence of the limbic system on the HPA axis is likely the end result of the overall patterning of responses to given stimuli and glucocorticoids, with the magnitude of the secretory response determined with respect to the relative contributions of the various structures.

The cortisol awakening response (CAR): Facts and future directions
TL;DR: It is hypothesized that the anticipation of the upcoming day is of major relevance for the magnitude of the cortisol awakening response, and considerations are addressed concerning the exact function of the CAR.
