Cortisol as a marker of stress

Cortisol as a marker of stress The review considers the roles cortisol (Crt), dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), and DHEA sulfate (DHEA-S) play in the stress response. Age-related, sex-related, and circadian fluctuations in normal conditions and in acute or chronic stress are described for Crt, DHEA, and DHEA-S. The main techniques used to estimate the Crt level in the blood, urine, and saliva are described, and approaches to the interpretation of the results discussed. Special attention is paid to Crt assays in anthropological and psychological studies. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Human Physiology Springer Journals

Abstract

The review considers the roles cortisol (Crt), dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), and DHEA sulfate (DHEA-S) play in the stress response. Age-related, sex-related, and circadian fluctuations in normal conditions and in acute or chronic stress are described for Crt, DHEA, and DHEA-S. The main techniques used to estimate the Crt level in the blood, urine, and saliva are described, and approaches to the interpretation of the results discussed. Special attention is paid to Crt assays in anthropological and psychological studies.
