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:

Salivary Bioscience, Human Stress and the Hypothalamic–Pituitary–Adrenal Axis
Nina Smyth,Angela Clow +1 more
TL;DR: This chapter explores the main approaches to using salivary cortisol in human stress research both within the laboratory and in the domestic setting and highlights crucial methodological considerations when measuring basal diurnal cortisol patterns as well as stress reactivity.

Stress impacts the fidelity but not strength of emotional memories
TL;DR: The data suggest that stress undermines the benefits of emotion on memory by changing individuals' susceptibility towards false alarms, and highlight the need to consider both memory strength and fidelity to characterize differences in memory performance.

Trends in Analysis of Cortisol and Its Derivatives.
Ali Boolani,Devika Channaveerappa,Emmalyn J. Dupree,Madhuri Jayathirtha,Roshanak Aslebagh,Stephanie Grobe,Tyler Wilkinson,Costel C. Darie +7 more
TL;DR: The literature on the MS and non-MS based methods for determination of cortisol and its derivatives are reviewed and the use of a less used quadrupole-time of flight instrument is explored in determination of these compounds.

From work stress to disease: A computational model
TL;DR: A computational model of the causal relationship between work stress and disease is presented, drawing from allostatic load theory, which suggested that this approach is fruitful, as it aids the development of falsifiable theory, and as it opens up new ways of generating predictions about why and when work stress is (un)healthy.

Anxiety Chronicity and Psychiatric Comorbidity: Influences on Salivary Alpha-Amylase in a Diagnostically Heterogeneous Sample of Outpatients with Anxiety Disorders
TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored the relationship between trait anxiety and salivary stress biomarkers and tested the influence of symptom chronicity and psychiatric comorbidity on this relationship.

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.
