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:

Testing the applicability of a virtual reality simulation platform for stress training of first responders
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored whether different stressors in a virtual reality (VR) military training scenario cause increases in physiological stress and validated the use of VR simulation for military training.

Expressive arts therapy for hospitalized children: a pilot study measuring cortisol levels
TL;DR: The results support the design of a formal study to assess physiological biomarkers of stress in hospital settings and are the first in-patient study assessing a biomarker of stress following expressive arts therapy for children.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cortisol and salivary alpha-amylase trajectories following a group social-evaluative stressor with adolescents.
TL;DR: A way to model the response trajectories of salivary biomarkers of the HPA-axis and ANS when taking a multisystem approach to neuroendocrine research that enables researchers to make conclusions about the reactivity and recovery phases of theHPA- axis and ANs responses is demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Baseline cortisol predicts drunkorexia in female but not male college students.
TL;DR: Programs educating about stress management and health risks of drunkorexia may decrease engagement in drunkoresxia behaviors among college students, and multiple regressions indicated that baseline cortisol significantly positively correlated with drunkorean behaviors in women but not men.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of genetic variation in SERPINA6/2/1 loci on diurnal and stress-induced salivary cortisol in children was investigated.

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.
