Optimism, positive affectivity, and salivary cortisol [PDF]

open access: yesBritish Journal of Health Psychology, 2005
Objectives. Research on stress and salivary cortisol has focused almost exclusively on the effects of negative psychological conditions or emotional states. Little attention has been drawn to the impact associated with positive psychological conditions, which have been shown recently to have significant ...

Salivary Cortisol in Panic Attacks

American Journal of Psychiatry, 2000
Documentation of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis disturbance in panic disorder has been inconsistent. Increased cortisol levels have been associated with altered HPA function due to stress. The authors examined salivary cortisol levels in spontaneously occurring, unprovoked panic attacks.Patients with panic disorder (N=25) collected saliva ...

A Bioluminescent Probe for Salivary Cortisol

Bioconjugate Chemistry, 2011
Cortisol is a classical biomarker for the stress levels of human beings. We fabricated highly sensitive bioluminescent probes for salivary cortisol. The following strategies were contrived in the molecular design. Gaussia princeps luciferase (GLuc) was dissected into two fragments, between which an N-terminal-extended ligand binding domain of ...

Salivary cortisol in late preterm infants

Acta Paediatrica, 2021
Accurate assessment of the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) axis in preterm infants is challenging, but important in investigation of hypoglycaemia or adrenal function. Salivary cortisol reflects changes in unbound serum cortisol, offers a reliable alternative to measuring serum cortisol and returns values around one-tenth of plasma values.1 ...

Stressful Events and Salivary Cortisol

Psychological Reports, 1997
No relationship of stressful events with salivary cortisol was found for 29 stressed women. An increased cortisol tendency in women suggests different responses by sex.

Salivary cortisol and psychosocial hazards at work

American Journal of Industrial Medicine, 2008
AbstractBackgroundExperimental and clinical evidence suggest that stress can lead to ill‐health through the disregulation of the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis. Studies to date have produced equivocal results likely due to different methodologies and failure to account for confounding factors.

Salivary Cortisol

The Endocrinologist, 2000
One of the hallmarks of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis is a distinctive circadian rhythm with a peak in cortisol at 8 a.m. and a nadir around midnight. Because patients with endogenous hypercortisolism have an increase in the nadir in the circadian rhythm of cortisol, the ability to ...

Stress and salivary cortisol during pregnancy

Psychoneuroendocrinology, 2005
The purpose of this study was to determine whether exposure to stressful life events was associated with changes in levels of circulating cortisol during pregnancy in a population of 603 pregnant women. The participating pregnant women filled out a questionnaire and collected a morning and evening sample of saliva in early pregnancy (median 14th ...

Salivary Cortisol in Psychobiological Research: An Overview

Neuropsychobiology, 2008
The measurement of cortisol in saliva provides the basic scientist as well as the clinician with a reliable tool for investigations of hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis activity. Since saliva samples can be obtained stress-free and independent from medically trained personnel this method may be well suited for use in psychobiological studies.

Salivary Cortisol Testing in Children

Issues in Comprehensive Pediatric Nursing, 1997
Biological markers can identify links between human biology and human behavior. Cortisol, a marker of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenocortical axis function, is a useful measure in research. Newer technology involving the measurement of cortisol in saliva is being utilized in research studies.
