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 cytokines as a minimally-invasive measure of immune functioning in young children: correlates of individual differences and sensitivity to laboratory stress.
TL;DR: It is suggested that in healthy children, salivary cytokine levels reflect compartmentalized oral immune activity and associations between ANS and HPA activity and cytokines in saliva may present opportunities for minimally-invasive methods to explore neuroendocrine-immune interactions during development.

Psychophysiological correlates of cognitive deficits in family caregivers of patients with Alzheimer Disease.
Márcio Silveira Corrêa,Kelem Vedovelli,Bruno Lima Giacobbo,C.E.B. de Souza,Pâmela Ferrari,I.I. de Lima Argimon,Julio Cesar Walz,Flávio Kapczinski,Elke Bromberg +8 more
TL;DR: This study showed that caregivers' cognitive impairment is related with alterations on cortisol/DHEA ratios, and that chronic stress experienced by these subjects has the potential to alter their BDNF levels.

Stress and Primary Headache: Review of the Research and Clinical Management
TL;DR: It is suggested that although some researchers have questioned whether stress can trigger headaches, overall, the literature is still supportive of such a link.

Changes in Biochemical Markers of Pain Perception and Stress Response After Spinal Manipulation
Gustavo Plaza-Manzano,Francisco Molina-Ortega,Rafael Lomas-Vega,Antonio Martínez-Amat,Alexander Achalandabaso,Fidel Hita-Contreras +5 more
TL;DR: Data suggest that the initial capability of the tissues to tolerate mechanical deformation affects the capacity of these tissues to produce an induction of neuropeptide expression, which triggers an increase in neurotensin, oxytocin, and cortisol blood levels.

The cognitive and neurobiological effects of daily stress in adolescents.
Ahrareh Rahdar,Adriana Galván +1 more
TL;DR: There was a significant age by stress interaction, such that adolescents exhibited less recruitment of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex during inhibition under high-stress versus low-stress; adults evinced the opposite activation pattern in DLPFC.

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.

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.
