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:

Do women tend while men fight or flee? Differential emotive reactions of stressed men and women while viewing newborn infants
Fabian Probst,Juliane Meng-Hentschel,Jessika Golle,Jessika Golle,Sylvia Stucki,Carola Akyildiz-Kunz,Janek S. Lobmaier +6 more
TL;DR: Sex differences in caretaking motivation were found, such that stress led to decreased care taking motivation in men but not in women, and stressed men elicited a stronger skin conductance change while viewing infant videos than stressed women.

Efeito do análogo sintético do feromônio facial felino sobre o nível de cortisol salivar de gatos domésticos
TL;DR: Salivary cortisol levels decreased in 75% (21/28) of the cats after exposure, suggesting that the animals have different susceptibilities to the pheromone or that they spent different lengths of time in the area where the phersomone devices were installed.

Loneliness: An Immunometabolic Syndrome.
TL;DR: In this article, a detailed picture of loneliness as an "immunometabolic syndrome" with its multifaceted pathology is presented, with previous literature showcasing loneliness as a distinct psychological experience and a health determinant, expanding it into a syndrome of events, linked through a shared network of immunometabolic pathology.

Embedded Dental Cortisol Content: A Pilot Study
TL;DR: This is the first report on extraction and analysis of cortisol levels in hard tissues, such as teeth, leading to the discovery of a novel biomarker that can be used when studying chronic stress.

Effect of acupressure on postpartum low back pain, salivary cortisol, physical limitations, and depression: a randomized controlled pilot study.
TL;DR: Acupressure may reduce postpartum LBP intensity and limitations in daily and physical activity, and alleviate post partum depressive symptoms, and should be offered inPostpartum care settings as an alternative treatment for postpartUM women with LBP.

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.
