Salivary Hormonal Responses Related to Menstrual Cycle
Menstrual cycle phase predicts women’s hormonal responses to sexual stimuli. Author: Shirazi TN, et al. (2018), Horm Behav. ABSTRACT: A robust body of research has demonstrated shifts in women’s sexual desire and arousal across the menstrual cycle, with heightened desire and arousal coincident with heightened probability of conception (POC), and it is likely that ovarian hormones modulate […]
Salivary Estradiol Corresponds to Genetic Influences for Binge Eating in Pubescent Girls
Estrogen moderates genetic influences on binge eating during puberty: Disruption of normative processes? Author: Klump KL, et al. (2018) , J Abnorm Psychol. ABSTRACT: Puberty is a critical period for changes in genetic effects for binge eating in girls. Previous twin studies show increases in genetic influences on binge eating from prepuberty (∼0%) to midpuberty and […]
Sex hormone variations in both sexes may be important when investigating stress physiology
Sex hormones adjust “sex-specific” reactive and diurnal cortisol profiles. Author: Author: Juster, et al (2015), Psychoneuroendocrinology Sex differences in stress hormone functions are presumed to depend on sex hormones. And yet, surprisingly few psychoneuroendocrine studies actually assess within-sex variations of testosterone, estradiol, and progesterone when investigating sex-specific activities of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis. In this methodological […]
