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:

TL;DR: A label-free paper-based electrical biosensor chip to quantify salivary cortisol at a point-of-care (POC) level and the newly developed cortisol immune biosensor has an improved limit of detection, no need for additional redox medium for electron exchange, faster response to achieve stable data, excellent shelf life, and its economical production.

Maternal cortisol and offspring birthweight: Results from a large prospective cohort study
Geertje Goedhart,Tanja G. M. Vrijkotte,Tessa J. Roseboom,Marcel F. van der Wal,Pim Cuijpers,Gouke J. Bonsel +5 more
TL;DR: Although an independent association between maternal cortisol levels in early pregnancy and offspring birthweight and small for gestational age (SGA) risk was not observed, exploratory post hoc analysis suggested that the association was moderated by time of day, such that the associations was only present in the early morning.

Mindfulness-based coping with university life: a non-randomized wait-list-controlled pilot evaluation
Siobhan Lynch,Siobhan Lynch,Marie-Louise Gander,Niko Kohls,Niko Kohls,Brigitte M. Kudielka,Harald Walach,Harald Walach +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore the feasibility of implementing a new 8-week mindfulness-based program, "Mindfulness-Based Coping with University Life" (MBCUL), specifically tailored to the needs and demand of students and to explore its impact in a pilot evaluation.

TL;DR: It is found that general cognitive ability at age 20 was a significant predictor of midlife cortisol levels, and possibly support the notion that glucocorticoid exposure is associated with cognitive functions that are mediated by frontal-striatal systems, and is not specific to hippocampal-dependent memory.

Stress reactivity to co-rumination in young women’s friendships: Cortisol, alpha-amylase, and negative affect focus:
TL;DR: In this paper, the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and sympathetic nervous system (salivary alpha-amylase, sAA) react to co-rumination.

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.
