Measuring salivary cortisol levels in domestic canines
January 12, 2018A 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 […]
Effects of prematurity, cumulative medical risk, and proximal and distal social forces on HPA axis
Long-Term Effects of Prematurity, Cumulative Medical Risk, and Proximal and Distal Social Forces on Individual Differences in Diurnal Cortisol at Young Adulthood. Author: Winchester SB, et al. (2017), Biological Research for Nursing This study examined the effects of prematurity, cumulative medical risk, and proximal and distal social forces on individual differences in the activity of […]
New Study Confirms How to Achieve High-Quality Salivary Cortisol Data for Your Research
(Oct 19, 2017) A recent study shows better assays and better labs are consistently producing better salivary bioscience study data. The research team analyzed salivary cortisol measurement error between established-qualified international academic-research laboratories using Salimetrics Assays. A new study published in BioMed Central Research Notes shows that using an established-qualified lab provides the best opportunity […]

Salimetrics Assays & daacro Support Findings from the FemNAT-CD European multicenter study After four years of intense research and collaboration, the EU-funded FemNAT-CD project will present its results to the broader public. The multicenter study has explored the mechanisms of conduct disorders (CD) in girls with CD from childhood to young adulthood and is aiming […]
HPA axis and SNS reactivity moderate relationship between IPV and infant internalizing behavior
January 10, 2018Exposure to intimate partner violence in utero and infant internalizing behaviors: Moderation by salivary cortisol-alpha amylase asymmetry. Author: Martinez-Torteya C, et al. (2017), Early Human Development Guided by the main tenets of contemporary models of the developmental origins of health and disease, this study evaluated whether individual differences in reactivity of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis […]
Lower BMI and uric acid in Mexican-origin families with greater fear of deportation
Household fear of deportation in Mexican-origin families: Relation to body mass index percentiles and salivary uric acid Author: Martinez AD, et al. (2017), American Journal of Human Biology OBJECTIVE: Fear of deportation (FOD) is a prevalent concern among mixed-status families. Yet, our understanding of how FOD shapes human health and development is in its infancy. […]
Reproducibility of salivary cortisol measurement across established-qualified laboratories
Measurement of cortisol in saliva: a comparison of measurement error within and between international academic‑research laboratories. Author: Calvi JL, et al. (2017), BMC Research Notes Early life adversity is associated with adult elevations of inflammatory markers such as circulating levels of C-reactive protein (CRP). Few studies have examined inflammation levels during infancy nor the associations […]
