background glucose is an essential element in the supply of body’s energy. in diseases such as diabetes, glucose increase is associated with disturbance in metabolism. cortisol is an important hormone in the regulation of glucose metabolism, and human serum albumin (hsa) is one of the most important glucose and cortisol transmitters in blood. interaction between albumin and these ligands could ...

human serum albumin (hsa) is an important protein that carries variety of substances like some hormones and drugs in blood. pharmacological studies of the interaction of many drugs and hsa are reported during several decades, specially recently years. interaction of cortisol and fluoxetine hydrochloride (flx) (as a common anti-stress drug) with hsa (as their carrier in blood) has been studied s...

objectives: this study was conducted in order to analyse the effect of flat pyramid loading pattern (fplp) weight training on salivary steroids levels in strength training athletes. methods: eleven elite male weightlifters trained six days per week for one month. five millilitres of unstipulated whole saliva was obtained pre- and five minutes post-exercise at days first, 15th, and 30th. results...

Cortisol plays an important part in physiological procedures. Observing cortisol concentration as a stress indicator demonstrates the mode for diagnosis goal. The mechanism of presented nano biosensor is LSPR and performed based on nucleic acid aptamer functionalized with gold nanoparticles which have specific interaction cortisol. particular measurement was accomplished over from 0.05 -0.2 μg·...

three siblings (1 boy, 2 girls) with hypertension and hypokalemia are presented, two with low plasma aldosterone and suppressed renin activity and the eldest with a high renin and aldosterone level due to secondary changes in her kidneys. urinary tetrahydrocortisol (thf) was increased relative to tetrahydrocortisone (the). cortisol ring a reduction constant was also lower than normal. these fin...

OBJECTIVES To examine whether the use of health-related control strategies moderates the association between elevated diurnal cortisol secretion and increases in older adults' functional disabilities. METHODS Functional disabilities of 164 older adults were assessed over 4 years by measuring participants' problems with performing activities of daily living. The main predictors included baseli...

Hair cortisol has the potential to fill the methodological void of long-term cortisol assessment while becoming a widely accepted measure in biopsychology. This review critically examines the applicability and relevance of hair cortisol measurement specifically within the field of exercise and sport science. Current measures of the HPA axis only cover a brief time period, whereas hair cortisol ...

Background: Cortisol is a crucial hormone for adaptation to challenging and stressful situations. Hair cortisol measurement used determine chronic stress; the growth rate of hair allows de...
