Salivary Cortisol Is Related to Atherosclerosis of Carotid Arteries [PDF]
The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2008 Background: Dysregulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis has been suggested as an independent risk factor for ischemic heart disease. The aim of our study was to evaluate whether two markers of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis activity, the level of salivary cortisol and the diurnal salivary cortisol pattern, are associated with ...

Salivary cortisol as a non-invasive approach to assess stress in dystocic dairy calves
Scientific Reports, 2021 The intensity and the magnitude of saliva cortisol responses were investigated during the first 48 h following birth in newborn dairy calves which underwent normal (eutocic, EUT, n = 88) and difficult (dystocic, DYS, n = 70) calvings.

Strategies for enhancing sensitivity in lateral flow assays
VIEW, EarlyView.Lateral flow assays (LFAs) are essential for cost‐effective, rapid point‐of‐care diagnostics. However, conventional colourimetric LFAs often lack the sensitivity required for low‐abundance biomarkers. This review evaluates six enhancement strategies: flow modulation, sample preconcentration, advanced reporters, chemical signal amplification, structural
