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:

The effects of music listening on pain and stress in the daily life of patients with fibromyalgia syndrome
Alexandra Linnemann,Mattes B. Kappert,Susanne Fischer,Johanna M. Doerr,Jana Strahler,Urs M. Nater +5 more
TL;DR: Clinicians using music therapy should become aware of the potential adjuvant role of music listening in daily life, which has the potential to improve symptom control in chronic pain patients and is necessary to use more intensive engagement with music rather than mere music listening.

Genetic and Environmental Influences on Cortisol Regulation Across Days and Contexts in Middle-Aged Men
Carol E. Franz,Timothy P. York,Lindon J. Eaves,Sally P. Mendoza,Richard L. Hauger,Dirk H. Hellhammer,Kristen C. Jacobson,Seymour Levine,Sonia J. Lupien,Michael J. Lyons,Elizabeth Prom-Wormley,Hong Xian,William S. Kremen +12 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that genetic factors influence cortisol responses to specific environmental stressors, and that cortisol levels are correlated in identical twins only when they undergo similar experiences.
Journal ArticleDOI
The stress-reducing effect of music listening varies depending on the social context.
TL;DR: Music listening in the presence of others enhanced the stress-reducing effect of music listening independently of reasons for music listening.
Journal ArticleDOI
Psychogenic Stress in Hospitalized Dogs: Cross Species Comparisons, Implications for Health Care, and the Challenges of Evaluation
TL;DR: The physiology of the mammalian stress response and known health consequences of psychogenic, rather than physical, stress; as well as methods of measuring stress in animals are described; while the review will address stress in a range of domestic species, it will specifically focus on dogs.

Localized surface plasmon resonance aptasensor for the highly sensitive direct detection of cortisol in human saliva
Seongjae Jo,Wonseok Lee,Joohyung Park,Woong Kim,Woochang Kim,Gyudo Lee,Heon Jeong Lee,Junghwa Hong,Jinsung Park +8 more
TL;DR: A highly sensitive, localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) aptasensor for the direct detection of cortisol in saliva and was able to selectively detect cortisol among other substances with similar chemical structures.

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.
