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:

The Impact of Antenatal Psychological Group Interventions on Psychological Well-Being: A Systematic Review of the Qualitative and Quantitative Evidence
TL;DR: It is suggested that there are some benefits to attending group interventions, but further research is required to fully understand their successful and unsuccessful features, and insufficient quantitative evidence to make a general recommendation for antenatal group interventions.

Associations between DSM-IV diagnosis, psychiatric symptoms and morning cortisol levels in a community sample of adolescents
TL;DR: Except in relation to conduct symptoms, dysregulation of morning cortisol levels seems unrelated to any psychiatric disorder or symptoms, however, the relationship between cortisol and conduct symptoms is moderated by both gender and mood symptoms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Micellar electrokinetic chromatography for the determination of cortisol in urine samples in view of biomedical studies
TL;DR: The proposed MEKC method was selective and reliable for identification and can detect changes of endogenous levels of cortisol in urine under different stress situations and was validated for specificity, linearity, LODs and LOQs, precision and trueness.

The Everyday Stress Resilience Hypothesis: Unfolding Resilience from a Perspective of Everyday Stress and Coping
Jennifer A. DiCorcia,Jennifer A. DiCorcia,Akhila V. Sravish,Edward Z. Tronick,Edward Z. Tronick +4 more
TL;DR: The Everyday Stress Resilience Hypothesis as mentioned in this paper argues that successful regulation accumulates into regulatory resilience which emerges during early development from successful coping with the inherent stress in typical interactions, and that stress that is effectively resolved in the short run and with reiteration over the long term increases children and adults’ capacity to cope with more intense stressors.

Cortisol awakening response in infants during the first six postnatal months and its relation to birth outcome.
Marion Tegethoff,Nicole Knierzinger,Andrea H. Meyer,Gunther Meinlschmidt,Gunther Meinlschmidt,Gunther Meinlschmidt +5 more
TL;DR: The current data demonstrate the existence of a salivary cortisol awakening response in infants as early as during the first six postnatal months; its relationship with length of gestation supports its usefulness for questions related to developmental neuroscience.

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.
