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:

A Virtual Reality Meditative Intervention Modulates Pain and the Pain Neuromatrix in Patients with Opioid Use Disorder.
Mohammed M Faraj,Nina M Lipanski,Austin Morales,Elimelech Goldberg,Martin H. Bluth,Martin H. Bluth,Hilary A. Marusak,Mark K. Greenwald +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the neurobiological and behavioral effects of a virtual reality-based meditative intervention in patients undergoing methadone maintenance treatment (MMT) and found that after each intervention session, ratings of pain, opioid craving, anxiety and depression decreased.

Blood lactate and rectal temperature can predict exit velocity of beef feedlot steers.
Andrew F Williams,J.A. Boles,Melissa R Herrygers,James G. Berardinelli,Michael C. Meyers,Jennifer M. Thomson +5 more
TL;DR: Comparison of temperament between feedlot steers and heifers and to confirm chute side measures of temperament relationship to physiological responses to stress indicated that blood lactate in combination with rectal temperature were strong candidates to predict exit velocity.

Cortisol and sleep in infancy and early childhood
TL;DR: It can be assumed that sleep patterns and sleep are associated with cortisol secretion in early childhood and this finding could be included in the creation and further development of interventional sleep training programs.

Physiological and Psychological Stress in Patients Living With a Left Ventricular Assist Device.
Martha Abshire,Julie T. Bidwell,Gayle G. Page,Chakra Budhathoki,Patricia M. Davidson,Stuart D. Russell,Hae Ra Han,Shashank Desai,Cheryl Dennison Himmelfarb +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the salivary biomarkers and stress in left ventricular assist device (LVAD) outpatients were analyzed and the relationship between stress and outcomes (quality of life [QOL] and functional status) was examined.

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.
