Prenatal Maternal HPA Activity May Moderate NEI Functioning in Young Children
November 26, 2019Long-Term Associations Between Prenatal Maternal Cortisol and Child Neuroendocrine-Immune Regulation Author: Riis J, et al. (2019), International Journal of Behavioral Medicine. ABSTRACT: Background Advancing understanding of the developmental origins of neuroendocrine-immune (NEI) functioning is key to elucidating the biological mechanisms involved in health and disease risk across the lifespan. This study examined whether prenatal maternal […]
Salimetrics Releases New Salivary Osteocalcin Test to Support Interdisciplinary Research
November 7, 2019(November 7, 2019) A new Salimetrics' SalivaLab test is now available for investigators to expand discovery in Salivary Bioscience. Osteocalcin (OCN, OC), also known as Bone Gamma-Carboxyglutamic Acid-Containing Protein (BGLAP), is a novel biomarker that researchers have linked to stress, sports performance, metabolic regulation, brain development, cognition, and periodontitis. Today, Salimetrics' SalivaLab released a Salivary [...]

Salimetrics Expands Salivary Cytokine Testing Service for Fast, Easy Salivary Biomarker Analysis
October 16, 2019(October 16, 2019) Salimetrics brings better methods to salivary cytokine research with the addition of IFN-gamma, IL-2, IL-10, IL-12p70, and IL-13 to its testing service. Researchers can add any or all of these cytokines to the popular, core Salimetrics’ Salivary Cytokine Panel (IL-1 Beta, IL-6, IL-8 and TNF-Alpha), all tested using the same sample with [...]
Cognitive Reappraisal of Negative emotions may be related to salivary E2 and DLFPC Activity
October 7, 2019A preliminary study of association between adolescent estradiol level and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex activity during emotion regulation Author: Chung Y, et al. (2019), Psychoneuroendocrinology. ABSTRACT: Non-human primate models have been useful in clarifying estradiol’s role in cognitive processing. These animal studies indicate estradiol impacts cognitive processes supported by regions within dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC). Although […]

Physical and Emotional Abuse has Indirect Effects on Cortisol Reactivity
September 20, 2019Childhood abuse predicts affective symptoms via HPA reactivity during mother-infant stress Author: Kern S & Laurent HK. (2019), Psychoneuroendocrinology. ABSTRACT: Despite extensive literature positing the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis as a mechanism in the association between early childhood maltreatment and later adult psychopathology, empirical support for this full pathway is lacking. We tested indirect effects of […]
