Sex differences in cortisol response to noxious stress.
OBJECTIVES Evidence has accumulated that men and women show different responses to noxious stimuli, with women exhibiting greater sensitivity to pain than men. Data concerning sex differences in cortisol response patterns have revealed inconsistent results so far. The purpose of the present study was to examine sex differences in subjective pain and cortisol response to a noxious stressor. ME...
متن کاملSex Differences in Cortisol Levels
Any situation that upsets an organism’s homeostasis is considered to be a stressor. This study focused on the differences present in salivary cortisol preand post-exercise and discusses any differences between males and females. By comparing the cortisol before and after a stressor, one is able to see if males and females handle and respond to stress differently. 10 males and 10 females partici...
متن کاملThe impact of cortisol reactivity to acute stress on memory: sex differences in middle-aged people.
Stress has been identified as a main factor involved in the cognitive changes that occur during the aging process. This study investigated sex differences in the relationship between the magnitude of the acute stress-induced salivary cortisol response and memory performance among middle-aged people. To this end, 16 men and 16 women (aged 54-72 years) were exposed to the Trier Social Stress Test...
متن کاملEvaluation of gender-related differences in response to oxidative stress in toxoplasma gondii positive serum

In this article, we argue that prenatal and neonatal testosterone exposure are strong candidates for having a causal role in sexual dimorphism in human behaviour, including social development.
