Cortisol awakening response in late pregnancy in women with previous or ongoing depression
Pregnancy is associated with increased basal cortisol levels, and decreased hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis reactivity. The cortisol awakening response (CAR) is a measure of HPA-axis reactivity which has been reported to be increased in patients with ongoing depressive disorder and in individuals with remitted depression. In this study, we investigated HPA-axis reactivity in pregnant ...
متن کاملThe cortisol awakening response and major depression: examining the evidence
A vast body of literature has revealed that dysregulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) stress axis is associated with etiology of major depressive disorder (MDD). There are many ways that the dysregulation of the HPA axis can be assessed: by sampling diurnal basal secretion and/or in response to a stress task, pharmacological challenge, and awakening. Here, we focus on the associ...
متن کاملCortisol awakening response and subsequent depression: prospective longitudinal study
BACKGROUND Some studies have found an association between elevated cortisol and subsequent depression, but findings are inconsistent. The cortisol awakening response may be a more stable measure of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal function and potentially of stress reactivity. AIMS To investigate whether salivary cortisol, particularly the cortisol awakening response, is associated with subsequ...
متن کاملParental history of depression or anxiety and the cortisol awakening response.
BACKGROUND It is unclear whether altered hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis regulation, which frequently accompanies depression and anxiety disorders, represents a trait rather than a state factor. AIMS To examine whether HPA axis dysregulation represents a biological vulnerability for these disorders, we compared cortisol levels in unaffected people with and without a parental history...
متن کاملState associations with the cortisol awakening response in healthy females.
The current study examined intra-individual relationships between the cortisol awakening response (CAR) and state sleep-related and psychosocial variables in a pooled design study. 12 healthy female participants (age range: 22-41 years.) were examined on 12 study days each, occurring at three-day intervals. Quantitative diaries capturing state sleep-related and psychosocial variables were fille...
