Maternal salivary testosterone in pregnancy and fetal neuromaturation.
Maternal salivary testosterone in pregnancy and fetal neuromaturation Author: Voegtline KM, et al (2017), Developmental Psychobiology Testosterone exposure during pregnancy has been hypothesized as a mechanism for sex differences in brain and behavioral development observed in the postnatal period. The current study documents the natural history of maternal salivary testosterone from 18 weeks gestation of […]

Measuring salivary cortisol levels in domestic canines
A systematic review and meta-analysis of salivary cortisol measurement in domestic canines Author: Cobb M, et al (2016), Domestic animal endocrinology Highlights Systematic review and meta- analysis determined reference range for salivary cortisol in dogs There is a large amount of intraindividual and interindividual variability Salivary cortisol concentrations might relate to subject, environment, or experimental […]
Salivary DHEA-S, Cortisol show emotional & neuroendocrine response in relation to Telomere Length
Telomere Length and Procedural Justice Predict Stress Reactivity Responses to Unfair Outcomes in African Americans. Author: Lucas T, et al. (2017), Psychoneuroendocrinology Highlights TL predicts how psychosocial factors influence acute stress responses. Stress resiliency reflects telomere and procedural justice congruence. Considering TL as a predictor can advance understanding of racial health disparities. View Abstract Keywords: […]
Stress associated with higher salivary CRP levels in infants
January 11, 2018Association between early life adversity and inflammation during infancy. Author: David J, et al. (2017), Dev Psychobiol. Early life adversity is associated with adult elevations of inflammatory markers such as circulating levels of C-reactive protein (CRP). Few studies have measured inflammation or its association with psychosocial stress during infancy. Existing evidence suggests that early adversity […]
5-HTTLPR variation may influence the impact of early adversity on HPA-axis regulation
Individual Differences in Early Adolescents’ Latent Trait Cortisol: Interaction of Early Adversity and 5-HTTLPR. Author: Chen FR, et al. (2017), Biol Psychol. The present study aimed to examine the interaction of 5-HTTLPR and early adversity on trait-like levels of cortisol. A community sample of 117 early adolescent girls (M age=12.39years) provided DNA samples for 5-HTTLPR […]
