Stress levels of individuals are documented using glucocorticoid concentrations (including cortisol) in blood, saliva, urine or faeces, which provide information about stress hormones during a short period of time (minutes to days). In mammals, use of hair cortisol analysis allows for the assessment of prolonged stress over weeks and months and provides information on chronic stress levels with...
UNLABELLED BACKGROUND/STUDY CONTEXT: The cortisol diurnal rhythm has previously been examined in relation to age and health behaviors. However, less is known about the relationship between multiple health behaviors and diurnal cortisol in the context of aging, where it is possible that the impact of health behaviors on cortisol varies as a function of age. This study compared the awakening resp...
introduction: in modern societies, shift work is an essential component of daily life. since the beginning of research in shift work, researchers have been engaged in the identification of factors predicting adjustment and adaptation to shift work. the concept of adaptation and tolerance refers mainly to the biological response in terms of circadian rhythms and performance efficiency as well as...
We measured affect in 334 healthy adults on each of 7 days over a 3-week period. On the last day, salivary cortisol was assessed 14 times yielding scores for total concentration, morning rise amplitude, and slope of the time function. Trait negative affect (NA) was associated with higher total cortisol concentrations and greater morning rise in men. Cortisol levels for men low in trait positive...
Total and free cortisol levels are significantly elevated in pregnancy, but the reasons for this are not clear. The relationships between the diurnal variation in saliva (free) cortisol and baseline levels of total cortisol, corticosterone-binding globulin (CBG), progesterone, and estrogens were studied in several groups of women (normal nonpregnant, taking a combined oral contraceptive pill, a...
Species have traditionally been defined as cortisol-dominant or corticosterone-dominant, depending on the glucocorticoid that is reported. To assess the degree of covariance versus independence between cortisol and corticosterone, 245 serum samples belonging to 219 individuals from 18 cortisol-dominant, non-domesticated species (6 mammalian orders) were compared by mass spectrometry. In these s...
BACKGROUND Measurement of cortisol in 24-h urine collections and midnight saliva are standard screening tests for Cushing's syndrome (CS). These tests reflect cortisol levels during a maximum of 24 h and do not provide historical information. Therefore, they can yield normal results in case of cyclic CS, which is a rare disorder that is characterized by alternating episodes of endogenous cortis...
BACKGROUND Normative data have been established for stimulated serum total cortisol in children but not for serum free cortisol. METHODS Children who were referred for ACTH testing to rule out adrenal insufficiency were enrolled. Only children with normal response and normal androgen levels were included. Total cortisol was determined by a chemiluminescence method, and free cortisol was measu...
The hormone cortisol is often believed to play a pivotal role in the effects of stress on human cognition. This meta-analysis is an attempt to determine the effects of acute cortisol administration on core executive functions. Drawing on both rodent and stress literatures, we hypothesized that acute cortisol administration would impair working memory and set-shifting but enhance inhibition. Add...
OBJECTIVE Morning cortisol levels are frequently used as screening tests for adrenal insufficiency in both adults and children. Reports differ on the specificity of this measurement. The present study was undertaken to determine whether sex or pubertal status affected morning cortisol values. METHODS We measured morning cortisol levels and performed low-dose adrenocorticotropic hormone stimul...
