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:

Hair Cortisol Measurement by an Automated Method
Diego Gonzalez,Dario Jacobsen,Carolina Ibar,Carlos Humberto Pavan,José Luis Eugenio Monti,Nahuel Fernandez Machulsky,Ayelen Balbi,Analy Fritzler,Juan Jamardo,Esteban Martín Repetto,Gabriela Berg,Bibiana Fabre +11 more
TL;DR: The novel procedure presented here shows an adequate analytical performance and no significant differences were observed in hair cortisol levels between subjects with and without dye.

Hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis functioning in Huntington's disease and its association with depressive symptoms and suicidality.
Anna A.M. Hubers,R.C. van der Mast,Alberto M. Pereira,Raymund A.C. Roos,L. J. Veen,Christa M. Cobbaert,E. van Duijn,Erik J. Giltay +7 more
TL;DR: The lower AUCi in motor symptomatic mutation carriers and the varying associations with depressive symptoms and suicidality in pre‐motor, early and advanced disease stages could possibly be explained by exhaustion of the HPA axis after prolonged stress‐induced HPA Axis hyperactivity.

Holistic Nursing in Practice: Mindfulness-Based Yoga as an Intervention to Manage Stress and Burnout
TL;DR: The MB yoga intervention had a statistically significant effect on the health and well-being of nurses and HCPs, most specifically for measures of stress; perceived stress, burnout, vitality, sleep quality, serenity, and mindfulness.

Developing a Citizen Social Science approach to understand urban stress and promote wellbeing in urban communities
Jessica Pykett,Benjamin W. Chrisinger,K. Kyriakou,Tess Osborne,Bernd Resch,Afroditi Stathi,Eszter Toth,Anna C. Whittaker +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors set out the future potential and challenges for developing an interdisciplinary, mixed-method Citizen Social Science approach to researching urban emotions, which is increasingly noted as a global mental health challenge facing both urbanised and rapidly urbanising societies.
The influence of urban green environments on stress relief measures: A field experiment
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the psychological and physiological effects of short-term visits to urban nature environments, and found that the salivary cortisol level decreased in a similar fashion in all three urban environments during the experiment.

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.
