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:

Mechanical, hormonal and psychological effects of a non-failure short-term strength training program in young tennis players.
José Manuel Sarabia,Jaime Fernandez-Fernandez,Casto Juan-Recio,Héctor Hernández-Davó,Tomás Urbán,Manuel Moya +5 more
TL;DR: A non-failure strength training protocol improved lower-limb performance levels and produced a moderate psychophysiological impact in youth elite tennis players, suggesting that it is a suitable program to improve strength.

Climbing the Social Ladder: Physiological Response to Social Status in Adolescents
TL;DR: In this paper, the relationship between social dominance, personality, and related physiological responses of adolescents upon hierarchy formation and after hierarchies were established was studied, and a combination of prosocial and coercive behaviors is seen in individuals perceived as socially dominant, especially in established hierarchies.

Risky Sexual Behaviours: Biological Markers and Self‐reported Data
Lucia Corno,Aureo de Paula +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed an econometric strategy that combines both types of measures, biomarkers and self-reported data, to estimate actual unobserved high-risk sexual behaviors.
Everyday music listening: The importance of individual and situational factors for musical emotions and stress reduction
TL;DR: Helsing et al. as mentioned in this paper explored the effects of everyday music listening on emotions, stress and health by using the Day Reconstruction Method (DRM) to study the prevalence of musical emotions in everyday life.

Kansei’s Physiological Measurement and Its application (1): Salivary Biomarkers as a New Metric for Human Mental stress
TL;DR: It has been revealed that some hormones and immune substances secreted within human body change its level in responding to human mental state.

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.

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.
