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:

Depressive Mood, Anger, and Daily Cortisol of Caregivers on High- and Low-Stress Days
TL;DR: It is found that hypocortisol patterns, reflective of chronic stress experienced by caregivers, are associated with negative mood.

Optimizing performance through stress training - An educational strategy for surgical residents.
Michael B. Goldberg,Michael Mazzei,Zoe Maher,Joel H. Fish,Richard Milner,Daohai Yu,Amy J. Goldberg +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the effectiveness of a stress management program for surgical residents and found that residents with stress training came to an accurate diagnosis 21% faster than controls (mean diagnosis time: 2.2 vs. 2.8min; p = 0.04).
Journal ArticleDOI
Socioeconomic Status, Race/Ethnicity, and Diurnal Cortisol Trajectories in Middle-Aged and Older Adults
TL;DR: African American race/ethnicity, but not lower SES, was associated with lower waking cortisol and slower afternoon decline in middle-aged and older adults, likely a marker of earlier biological aging in vulnerable groups.

The influence of androstadienone during psychosocial stress is modulated by gender, trait anxiety and subjective stress: An fMRI study.
Ka Chun Chung,I. Springer,Lydia Kogler,Bruce I. Turetsky,Jessica Freiherr,Jessica Freiherr,Birgit Derntl +6 more
TL;DR: The findings suggest that the male stress reaction under social evaluative threat was stronger than female stress reactions as a function of ANDR, and this effect on behavioral and neural stress reactions seems to depend on trait anxiety in males only.

Psychological and Physiological Response of Students to Different Types of Stress Management Programs
Silvia L. Iglesias,Sergio Héctor Azzara,Juan Carlos Argibay,María Lores Arnaiz,María de Valle Carpineta,Hugo Granchetti,Eduardo Lagomarsino +6 more
TL;DR: The combination of deep breathing, relaxation response, meditation, and guided imagery techniques with CB seems to be effective at helping people to deal with stress.

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.
