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:

Cortisol awakening and stress response, personality and psychiatric profiles in patients with takotsubo cardiomyopathy
Sabrina Kastaun,Niko Schwarz,Martin Juenemann,Mesut Yeniguen,Holger Nef,Helge Moellmann,Christian W. Hamm,Gebhard Sammer,Juergen Hennig,Georg Bachmann,Tibo Gerriets +10 more
TL;DR: In this small exploratory trial, a trend for a blunted CSR and high incidences of stressful life events were observed in TTC patients, suggesting chronic stress and the inhibitory influence of cortisol on catecholamine release might be significant for the pathogenesis of TTC.

Chronotype and diurnal cortisol profile in working women: Differences between work and leisure days
Samantha Dockray,Andrew Steptoe +1 more
TL;DR: The present data indicate that chronotype has a limited impact on the diurnal cortisol profile of healthy women, and may be somewhat impervious to individual preferences for morning or evening activity.

Exercise-induced hypoalgesia – interval versus continuous mode
Einat Kodesh,Irit Weissman-Fogel +1 more
TL;DR: In conclusion, interval exercise (85% HRR) has analgesic effects on experimental pain perception, in addition to its cardiovascular, muscular, and metabolic advantages may promote its inclusion in pain management programs.

Is Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder Really a Disorder
TL;DR: It is argued that PMDD should not be listed in the DSM or the ICD at all, adding to the call to recognise PMDD as a socially constructed disorder.
Journal ArticleDOI
Omega-3 fatty acids administered in phosphatidylserine improved certain aspects of high chronic stress in men.
TL;DR: It is concluded that subgroups characterized by high chronic stress and/or a dysfunctional response of the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis may profit from omega-3 PS supplementation.

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.
