The morning salivary cortisol response in burnout

Journal of Psychosomatic Research, 2005
The aim of the present study was to examine the free salivary cortisol response to awakening in men and women reporting low, moderate, and high levels of burnout.Twenty-two patients on sick leave due to burnout were compared with 22 working participants with low and 20 working participants with intermediate scores on the Shirom-Melamed Burnout ...

Salivary cortisol and cortisone in the clinical setting

Current Opinion in Endocrinology, Diabetes & Obesity, 2017
Purpose of review A resurgence of interest in salivary biomarkers has generated evidence for their value in assessing adrenal function. The advantages of salivary measurements include only free hormone is detected, samples can be collected during normal daily routines and stress-induced cortisol release is less likely to occur ...

SALIVARY CORTISOL HYPERSECRETION IN JUVENILE DEPRESSION

Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 1988
Abstract Thirty depressed inpatients aged 7–16 yrs were compared for salivary hypercortisolism with a control group of 16 inpatients of mixed diagnosis matched for age and sex. Four cortisol samples were taken over a 48 hr period: 8 a.m. and 11 p.m.

Salivary cortisol patterns in vital exhaustion

Journal of Psychosomatic Research, 2000
The syndrome of vital exhaustion (VE), a risk indicator for myocardial infarction, is characterized by excessive fatigue, irritability, and demoralization. Dysregulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenocortical (HPA) axis is a potential pathogenic mechanism in fatigue syndromes, but little is known about HPA function in syndromal VE.We assessed ...

Salivary Cortisol as a Predictor of Postoperative Fatigue

Psychosomatic Medicine, 2005
Some patients with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) exhibit low basal cortisol levels, but it is not known whether low cortisol is a cause of CFS, predates the onset of CFS symptoms, or is an epiphenomenon caused by the behavioral changes typical of CFS.

Sequence and Seasonal Effects of Salivary Cortisol

Behavioral Medicine, 2000
Assessments of cortisol levels in saliva have been widely used by both researchers and clinicians as an index of adrenal functioning. Quarterly measurements of morning and evening cortisol levels were determined in a longitudinal study of 147 participants (72 women and 75 men) followed for 1 year each.

Salivary cortisol for the evaluation of Cushing's syndrome

Clinica Chimica Acta, 1985
Cortisol concentrations were measured in matched plasma and salivary samples from 8 healthy controls, 8 patients with Cushing's syndrome and 4 patients suspected of having spontaneous hypercortisolism. In healthy subjects, the circadian rhythm in salivary cortisol paralleled that in plasma.

Type A, test performance and salivary cortisol

Journal of Psychosomatic Research, 1986
Forty first year medical students, previously screened for the presence or absence of the Type A behavior pattern, collected saliva samples for four days leading up to the first major examination of their medical school course. It was observed that the day of the examination produced substantially different patterns of salivary cortisol concentrations ...

Salivary Cortisol Determination: Adaptation of a Commercial Serum Cortisol Kit

Annals of Clinical Biochemistry: International Journal of Laboratory Medicine, 1982
The determination of Cortisol levels in saliva offers a number of significant advantages as compared with plasma or serum measurements, and radioimmunoassay is the technique of choice because of the greater sensitivity required. To date, the assay of salivary Cortisol has been limited to only a few centres employing ‘in-house’ reagents.

Salivary cortisol reflects serum cortisol: analysis of circadian profiles

Annals of Clinical Biochemistry: International Journal of Laboratory Medicine, 2007
Background: Technical hurdles limit the characterization of key hormonal rhythms. Frequent sampling increases detection of changes in magnitude or circadian and ultradian patterns, but limits feasibility for clinical or research settings. These caveats are particularly pertinent for cortisol, a hormone that displays a prominent circadian rhythm and ...
