Stress Biomarkers and Child Development in Young Children in Bangladesh
Hundreds of millions of children in low- and middle-income countries are exposed to chronic stressors, such as poverty, poor sanitation and hygiene, and sub-optimal nutrition. These stressors can have…
Salivary metabolomics in the family environment: A large-scale study investigating oral metabolomes in children and their parental caregivers
Human metabolism is complex and dynamic, and is impacted by genetics, diet, health, and countless inputs from the environment. Beyond the genetics shared by family members, cohabitation leads to shared microbial and environmental exposures. Furthermore, metabolism is affected by factors such as…
Association of salivary metals with ADHD
Exposure to toxic heavy metals has been associated with the development of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). However, fewer studies have examined the associations between abnormal levels of……

Salivary Estradiol and Binge Eating Risk in Females
Estrogen moderation of genetic influences on eating disorder symptoms during gonadarche in girls: Specific effects on binge eating Rolan, E et al. (2023) Psychoneuroendocrinology ABSTRACT: The heritability of eating disorder (ED) symptoms increases dramatically across gonadarche in girls. Past studies suggest these developmental differences could be due to pubertal activation of estrogen, but findings have […]

Salivary Uric Acid Reactivity Linked to Cardiovascular and Metabolic Risk in Black and Latinx Populations
Black and Latinx Americans are at disproportionate risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and metabolic syndrome. A well-documented pathway to these adverse health outcomes is…
Salivary Cortisol Responses to Daily Stressors Based on Early Life Adversity
Studies examining the impact of early adversity on physiological responsivity to environmental challenges in later life yield a complex pattern of findings and ambiguity regarding the direction of effect, with some studies reporting heightened…
Cortisol to assess correlation between stress and popularity in Hadza men
In recent years there has been much research regarding the extent to which social status is related to long-term indices of health. The majority of studies looking at the interplay between social status and health have been conducted in…
Salivary Cortisol: Could it be our collective research focus has been too narrow?
Drop Date: October 2023 In This Drop: Salivary Cortisol: Could it be our collective research focus has been too narrow? By: Kristina Feghali and Douglas A. Granger If you are interested in the relationship between stress, biology, and behavior, you are probably aware of how salivary cortisol has been integrated into applied research to represent the activity [...]
Analysis of Salivary Microbiome in Caregiver-Child Dyads to explore the effects of Environmental Tobacco Smoke Exposure on Oral and Systemic Health
Human oral microbial communities are diverse, with implications for oral and systemic health. Oral microbial communities change over time; thus, it is important to understand how healthy versus …
