Salivary Cortisol and Alpha-Amylase Connection in Mother-Infant Interactions
Ecologically salient stressors and supports and the coordination of cortisol and salivary alpha-amylase in mothers and infants. Author: Hibel LC, et al. (2018), Physiology and Behavior. ABSTRACT: This study examines the integration of the two main branches of the stress response system: the autonomic nervous system (via salivary alpha-amylase, sAA) and the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (via cortisol). Mothers (n = 117) were […]
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 […]
Nonhuman primates mirror human early life adversity & salivary cortisol/alpha-amylase responses
Effects of early life adversity on cortisol/salivary alpha-amylase symmetry in free-ranging juvenile rhesus macaques. Author: Petrullo LA, et al (2016), Horm Behav. Early life adversity (ELA) affects physiological and behavioral development. One key component is the relationship between the developing Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) axis and the Sympathetic Nervous System (SNS). Recent studies suggest a relationship between […]
