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:

Comparison of Psychological and Physiological Stress in NICU Nurses: Effects of Unit Design and Shift.
M Colleen Brand,Holly Shippey,Joseph Hagan,Sandra K Hanneman,Barbara E Levy,Stefany Range,Nattaya Wongsuwan,Amy L Zodin,Marlene Walden +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared stress in NICU nurses who work in single-family room (SFR) or open bay (OBY) units and on nonrotating day or night shift.
Journal ArticleDOI
Children's stress-related reports and stress biomarkers interact in their association with metabolic syndrome risk.
TL;DR: Stress can sometimes be a disadvantageous factor in metabolic health of otherwise healthy children, and metabolic risk was highest when stress-related reports were accompanied by high morning cortisol output.

Factors Predicting Training Delays and Attrition of Recruits during Basic Military Training
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors determined individual risk factors for injury and training delays from a suite of measures collected across basic military training (BMT), including salivary cortisol and testosterone, step counts, cardiorespiratory fitness, and muscular endurance.

The anticipatory response to stress and symptoms of depression and anxiety in early adulthood
Carly McLaughlin,Robert Schütze,Craig E. Pennell,David Henley,David Henley,Monique Robinson,Leon Straker,Anne Smith +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the Trier Social Stress Test (TSST) was used to assess the salivary cortisol response to a psychosocial stressor and participants later completed the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-21) at age 20.

1094 WS Relationship between current temperament measures and physiological responses to handling of feedlot cattle
Andrew F Williams,J.A. Boles,M. R. Herrygers,James G. Berardinelli,Michael C. Meyers,Jennifer M. Thomson +5 more
TL;DR: Physiological measures taken chute side as potential markers for defining an animal’s temperament and potential predictor were evaluated and the top candidate model was plasma lactate in combination with body temperature to predict exit velocity.

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.
