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:

Sleep Deprivation Affects Working Memory in Low but Not in High Complexity for the N-Back Test *
Guadalupe Terán-Pérez,Alejandra E. Ruiz-Contreras,Rosa Obdulia González-Robles,Rosario Tarrago-Castellanos,Roberto E. Mercadillo,Anabel Jiménez-Anguiano,Javier Velázquez-Moctezuma +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of sleep deprivation on working memory has been studied using the N-back test after increasing periods of wakefulness and salivary cortisol was determined along the study.

Stress and Cognitive Reserve as independent factors of neuropsychological performance in healthy elderly
João Carlos Centurion Cabral,Gessyka Wanglon Veleda,Martina Mazzoleni,Elton Pinto Colares,Lucas Neiva-Silva,Vera Torres das Neves +5 more
TL;DR: Results indicate that older adults with high levels of stress and reduced cognitive reserve may be more susceptible to cognitive impairment, and elderly people with higher cognitive reserve showed superior performance on all neuropsychological measures.

Effect of carbohydrate supplementation on the physiological and perceptual responses to prolonged tennis match play.
Rodrigo Vitasovic Gomes,Alexandre Moreira,Aaron James Coutts,Caroline Dário Capitani,Marcelo Saldanha Aoki +4 more
TL;DR: Data indicate that carbohydrate ingestion during 3 hours of competitive tennis match play helps to maintain glycemia and attenuates the increase in salivary cortisol concentration compared with PLA.

Supporting the supporter Social support and physiological stress among caregivers of children with severe disabilities
TL;DR: This article explored whether short-term supportive interactions between parents of children with disabilities and members of their supportive network (n = 40 dyads) influenced the physiological stress responses (as measured by salivary cortisol) of both interactants.

Rooming-in Reduces Salivary Cortisol Level of Newborn
Giuseppe De Bernardo,Marina Riccitelli,Maurizio Giordano,Fabrizio Proietti,Desiree Sordino,Mariangela Longini,Giuseppe Buonocore,Serafina Perrone +7 more
TL;DR: Data support the practice of full roomed-in care compared with partial rooming-in and suggest lower SCLs may have long-term positive effects reducing the risk of metabolic syndrome, high blood pressure, and cognitive and behavioural changes.

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.
