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:

TL;DR: Results indicate a sex difference in the CAR% in the presence of the MetS independent of depressive symptoms, a known correlate of the metS.

Associations between infants' crying, sleep and cortisol secretion and mother's sleep and well-being.
TL;DR: Mothers with infants characterized by IC are at increased risk for reporting impaired sleep, developing depressive symptoms and reporting higher family strain, most importantly, this risk seems to be greater if their infants' sleep is fragmented.

TL;DR: The results suggest that the dogs involved were not negatively affected by their participation in the AAA, by evaluating their heart rate and heart rate variability, salivary cortisol and oxytocin, and ear temperatures.

Does Psychosocial Stress Impact Cognitive Reappraisal? Behavioral and Neural Evidence.

TL;DR: The findings suggest that both the self-reported and neural effects of CR may be robust to at least moderate levels of stress, informing theoretical models of stress effects on cognition and emotion.

Salivary cortisol response to psychological stress in children with early childhood caries
TL;DR: The stress produced by different dental procedures was similar in children from the two groups studied, and the coping ability of the children was also similar in both the groups.

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

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.
