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:

Is salivary pH a marker of depression among older spousal caregivers for cancer patients
TL;DR: There is preliminary evidence that salivary pH may serve as an easily tested indicator of the stress of caregiving and its related depression, and depression mediated the associations of mastery with pH levels.

Flavour-enhanced cortisol release during gum chewing
TL;DR: The findings suggest that the salivary cortisol level during gum chewing is not a marker of negative emotions as traditionally considered but, rather, an index of positive emotions that can facilitate biological responses to overcome stressful conditions.

Effects of Daily Stress in Mental State Classification
Soyeon Park,Suh-Yeon Dong +1 more
TL;DR: The findings of this study show the feasibility of the fNIRS-based daily stress classification and can be used in the future to design a robust mental stress management system for the assessment of daily stress in individuals.

Sensory analysis of hepatitis B virus DNA for medicinal clinical diagnostics based on molybdenum doped ZnO nanowires field effect transistor biosensor; a comparative study to PCR test results.
TL;DR: In this article , a bio-sensing setup for investigating hepatitis B virus deoxyribonucleic acid (HBV DNA) diagnosis including rapid testing and field effect transistor (FET) in label free assay is proposed.

Salivary Hormone and Anxiety Responses to Free-Throw Shooting Competition in Collegiate Female Basketball Players
TL;DR: This study assessed the hormonal and psychological responses to a free-throw shooting competition in twelve NCAA Division I female collegiate basketball players and found concentration disruption and total competitive anxiety were positively correlated with precompetition cortisol and postcompetition testosterone.

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.
