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:

Christian Bauer,Thomas Rimmelé,Antoine Duclos,Antoine Duclos,Nathalie Prieto,Jean-Christophe Cejka,P.-Y. Carry,Sébastien Grousson,Arnaud Friggeri,Julien Secco,Bernard Bui-Xuan,Marc Lilot,Jean-Jacques Lehot +12 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assess trait anxiety and fear of negative evaluation (FNE) in anaesthesiology and critical care residents and appraise their state anxiety levels and cardiovascular responses during HFS training sessions.

Association of Lower Socioeconomic Position in Pregnancy with Lower Diurnal Cortisol Production and Lower Birthweight in Male Infants
Margaret H. Bublitz,Margaret H. Bublitz,Chrystal Vergara-Lopez,Maggie O’Reilly Treter,Laura R. Stroud,Laura R. Stroud +5 more
TL;DR: Women of lower SEP displayed smaller awakening responses and less change over the day compared with women of higher SEP, and patterns varied by fetal sex and cortisol metric, which was partially explained by maternal HPA activity in pregnancy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Patterns of salivary cortisol levels can manifest work stress in emergency care providers.
TL;DR: The results suggest that temporal changes, as well as diurnal similarities, in the salivary cortisol patterns can reflect work-related stress and recovery, and in particular, early morning cortisol levels may manifest individual reactivity to work stressors aswell as sleep deprivation.

Greenspace Interventions, Stress and Cortisol: A Scoping Review
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the current state of the science on greenspace interventions as they impact cortisol, and uncover any limitations of current research strategies to best inform future research.

Distraction-focused interventions on examination stress in nursing students: Effects on psychological stress and biomarker levels. A randomized controlled trial.
Verena Gebhart,Waltraud Buchberger,Isabella Klotz,Sabrina Neururer,Christine Rungg,Gerhard Tucek,Christoph Zenzmaier,Susanne Perkhofer +7 more
TL;DR: The preliminary findings suggest positive but situation-dependent effects of distraction-focused interventions in academic settings and the complex relationship between physiological and psychological stress parameters.

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.
