University Exams and Psychosocial Stress: Effects on Cortisol Rhythmicity in Students

open access: yesClinical Endocrinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background University exams are recognised as naturalistic stressors that may elicit psychosocial and physiological responses in students. This pilot study investigated the short‐ and long‐term effects of exam‐related stress on hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis activity, focusing on cortisol production and rhythmicity.

ACTH Stimulation Testing Is Often Unnecessary After Appropriate Patient Preparation Prior to Screening Cortisol Measurement

open access: yesClinical Endocrinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Context Screening morning serum cortisol is used to select patients for ACTH stimulation testing to diagnose adrenal insufficiency (AI) but may be affected by pre‐analytical factors. Careful consideration to discontinue confounding medications beforehand may preclude the need for subsequent stimulation testing.

Glucocorticoids and HPA axis regulation in the stress–obesity connection: A comprehensive overview of biological, physiological and behavioural dimensions

open access: yesClinical Obesity, Volume 15, Issue 2, April 2025.
Summary Chronic stress, characterized by increased long‐term exposure to the glucocorticoid hormone cortisol, is increasingly linked to obesity development. Still, various knowledge gaps persist, including on underlying pathophysiological mechanisms. The aim of the current review is to provide the latest insights on the connection between stress and ...

An experimental approach to assess the combined effects of multiple stressors on a large vertebrate species

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The design of experiments to investigate the combined effects of multiple stressors requires exposing target organisms to multiple combinations of stressor doses. Concurrent manipulation of stressors is often infeasible with wildlife, but long‐lasting health effects allow individual health to be used as an integrator of prior stressor exposure.
