Newborn infants' hair cortisol levels reflect chronic maternal stress during pregnancy. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
Cortisol obtained from hair samples represents a retrospective biomarker of chronic stress experienced by the subject in previous months. Although hair cortisol levels have been used to study the relationship between maternal and neonatal stress levels ...

Normalized Cortisol Reactivity Predicts Future Neuropsychological Functioning in Children With Mild/Moderate Asthma

Frontiers in Psychology, 2019
Cortisol reactivity to adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) has been associated with neuropsychological processes including attention and memory in children with asthma. While cortisol reactivity to a psychological stressor is often considered a measure of

Multiple Salivary Cortisol Measurements Are a Useful Tool to Optimize Metyrapone Treatment in Patients with Cushing’s Syndromes Treatment: Case Presentations

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2018
Measuring salivary cortisol is both convenient and non-invasive for patients; however, its usefulness as a marker for monitoring medical therapy has not yet been established.

The importance of salivary cortisol in the diagnosis of adrenal insufficiency in cirrhosis

The Turkish Journal of Gastroenterology, 2016
Background/Aims: Reports on adrenal insufficiency (AI) are unexpectedly high in cirrhosis, and the diagnosis of this condition remains a challenge. We aimed to define the prevalence rate of AI in stable cirrhotic patients and determine the correlations ...

Deriving a Cortisol-Related Stress Indicator From Wearable Skin Conductance Measurements: Quantitative Model & Experimental Validation

Frontiers in Computer Science, 2020
In order to find a stress indicator that can be used to monitor stress with wearables, we compare the almost instantaneous effects of psychological stress on skin conductance, with the effects on the stress hormone cortisol, peaking about 20–30 min later.

Food-induced cortisol secretion is comparable in lean and obese male subjects

Endocrine Connections, 2023
Objective: Hypercortisolism is a risk factor for obesity. Cortisol increases in response to food intake in lean subjects. In obese subjects, disturbances of the food-induced cortisol peak were reported, but data from sufficiently powered and well ...

Time-lag of urinary and salivary cortisol response after a psychological stressor in bonobos (Pan paniscus)

Scientific Reports, 2021
Cortisol is often measured as a marker for stress. Therefore, a profound validation of the time-lag between the stressor and the increase and peak in cortisol levels is needed.

Repeatability of endocrine traits and dominance rank in female guinea pigs

Frontiers in Zoology, 2022
Background Glucocorticoids (e.g. cortisol) are associated with variation in social behavior, and previous studies have linked baseline as well as challenge-induced glucocorticoid concentrations to dominance status.

Cortisol response to traumatic stress to predict PTSD symptom development – a systematic review and meta-analysis of experimental studies

European Journal of Psychotraumatology, 2023
Background: Pre-and post-traumatic hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis markers have been studied to predict posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) risk, but its acute reactivity cannot be measured in real-life settings.
