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:

Educators' emotion regulation strategies and their physiological indicators of chronic stress over 1 year.
TL;DR: Results indicate that compared to those in the fall, cortisol awakening responses were blunted in the spring, and self-reported use of the emotion regulation strategy reappraisal buffered the observed blunting that occurred in theSpring.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of maternal presence during induction on operative stress level in children who had tonsillectomy and/or adenoidectomy by determining the salivary cortisol levels were evaluated in 4 different time frames: 1) in preparation room, 2) after anesthesia induction, 3) at the 30th minute of operation, and 4) in postoperative recovery room.

Diurnal patterns and associations among salivary cortisol, DHEA and alpha-amylase in older adults
TL;DR: This study investigates patterns and associations in older adults by taking advantage of modern statistical methods for dealing with non-normality, outliers and curvature, and finds the nature of the association between cortisol and DHEA was found to change during the course of the day.

Gender Differences in Acculturation, Stress, and Salivary Cortisol Response Among Former Soviet Immigrants
TL;DR: Analysis of relationships among predictors of adjustment, self-reported stress outcomes, and salivary cortisol response in immigrants from the former Soviet Union indicated that while men and women had similar values for cortisol response, relationships among adjustment measures, stress outcome, and cortisol differed by gender.

TL;DR: Although there were no significant differences between the two groups and birth outcome, psychological and biological parameters, both interventions showed equivalent effects and proved to be beneficial with regard to psychosocial distress and well-being.

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.
