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:

BDNF, interleukin-6, and salivary cortisol levels in depressed patients treated with desvenlafaxine.
TL;DR: Weak or no relationships were observed at baseline between the potential biomarkers or between biomarkers and disease severity, and improvement in BDNF was significantly greater among patients who were more severely depressed at baseline.

Non-invasive cortisol measurements as indicators of physiological stress responses in guinea pigs.
TL;DR: In this article, non-invasive measurements of glucocorticoid (GC) concentrations, including cortisol and corticosterone, serve as reliable indicators of adrenocortical activities and physiological stress loads in a variety of species.

Salivary changes in oral mucosal diseases
Yazan Hassona,Crispian Scully +1 more
TL;DR: The causes and consequences of salivary hypofunction are discussed and a review of the literature related to changes insalivary parameters in various oral mucosal diseases and in systemic diseases with possible oral mucosa involvement are presented.

Catecholamine Metabolites in Urine, as Chronic Stress Biomarkers, Are Associated With Higher Risk of Chronic Periodontitis in Adults
Francisco Mesa,Antonio Magán-Fernández,Ricardo F. Muñoz,Lara Papay-Ramírez,Rafael Poyatos,Elena M. Sánchez-Fernández,Pablo Galindo-Moreno,Miguel Rodríguez-Barranco +7 more
TL;DR: Salivary cortisol levels in the patients with periodontitis were correlated with worse PI, higher gingival inflammation, and greater tooth loss, and the present results offer new evidence of the association between urinary concentrations of catecholamine metabolites (metanephrine and total metanephrines) and chronicperiodontitis.

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.
