Cortisol responsive gene networks in cardiovascular disease
Increased plasma cortisol levels are associated with Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) and CVD risk factors, however the tissue specific mechanisms underpinning this process are poorly understood. A genome wide meta-analysis by the CORtisol NETwork (CORNET) consortium identified genetic variants, …

Release of cortisol from lanolin alcohol-providone films
… and drug concentration. The rate of release of Cortisol from lanolin alcohol films was not affected by the intensity of agitation. Moreover, the film matrix was found to remain essentially intact throughout the release process. Further analysis of the data revealed that Higuchi's …

Rapid Non-genomic Actions of Cortisol in Fish
Cortisol, the primary glucocorticoid (GC) in teleosts signals through either the genomic pathway, by activating the intracellular glucocorticoid receptor (GR) and/or the mineralocorticoid receptor (MR), or through non-genomic pathways. However, the mechanism of action of non-genomic cortisol …

System identification of cortisol secretion : characterizing pulsatile dynamics
Cortisol controls the body's metabolism and response to inflammation and stress. Cortisol is released in pulses from the adrenal glands in response to pulses of adreno-corticotropic hormone (ACTH) released from the anterior pituitary; in return, cortisol has a negative feedback effect on ACTH …

IMPACT OF MILD AUTONOMOUS CORTISOL SECRETION ONVERTEBRAL FRACTURE RISK
Mild autonomous cortisol secretion (MACS) represents the most frequent hormonal alteration in patients with adrenal incidentalomas (20-50% prevalence) and has been increasingly associated with cardiometabolic and skeletal complications, including fragility fractures, even in the absence of overt …

The Role of Cortisol In The Cycle of Violence
… (HPA) axis. The HPA-axis, and its end-product, cortisol, may play a role in regulating aggressive behavior, but this function may be disrupted following abuse and neglect. Another risk factor for aggression, psychopathy, may mediate the cycle of violence or independently contribute to aggressive …

An Optical Aptamer-Based Carbon Nanosensor for Cortisol Detection
<p>Cortisol is a hormone related to numerous biological functions. This hormone is primarily associated with regulating the body’s stress response, including its effects on metabolism, immune function, and energy balance. Additionally, it plays a critical role in maintaining physiological …

Social Information Processing, Cortisol Secretion, and Aggression in Adolescents
While both social information processing and cortisol secretion in childhood aggression have generated a great deal of interest and research in the past few decades, these social-cognitive and physiological components of aggressive behavior have not been examined in the context of an integrative …

Characterization of Rapid Nongenomic Cortisol Signalling in Rainbow Trout Liver
… of metabolic processes for stress adaptation. Cortisol, the primary glucocorticoid in fish, exerts physiological effects through genomic and nongenomic signalling pathways. The genomic response to cortisol is characterized by activation of the corticosteroid receptors, glucocorticoid receptor …

The metabolism of cortisol in the human feto-placental unit
A method for assaying cortisol and cortisone using chromatography on either Paper or Sephadex LH-20 columns, followed by competitive protein binding, has been applied to umbilical cord and maternal plasma samples. In mixed cord plasma the mean cortisol concentration was 6.0 ± 0.8 µg/100 ml (n = 9) …

Applications of Hair as a Record of Systemic Exposure to Cortisol
Hair cortisol content (HCC) is a novel biomarker that uniquely captures retrospective systemic cortisol exposure. This thesis aimed to assess how different hair growth rates effect HCC timelines in Cushing’s and Addison’s patients, investigate the relationship between HCC and age, puberty, sex and …

Salivary testosterone and cortisol measurements in profesional elite rugby union players
… plasma concentrations of testosterone (T) and cortisol (C). Study one investigated the relationship between total serum and saliva concentrations of T and C in healthy men (n = 4) under resting conditions. Blood and saliva were sampled simultaneously from 9:00 am until 5:00pm to determine the …

Long-Term Hypoxia Alters Ovine Fetal Adrenal eNOS and Cortisol Biosynthesis
<p>Maintaining normal levels of cortisol in response to chronic stress, while retaining the ability to respond to acute stress, is important for ensuring normal fetal growth and development. Long-term hypoxia (LTH) causes adaptations in the fetal hypothalamopituitary- adrenal (HPA) axis that …

Vitamin A deficiency: Serum cortisol and immunoglobulin G levels in lambs
Serum cortisol and immunoglobulin G (IgG) concentrations were measured to investigate the relationship between vitamin A status and immune function in lambs. Twenty-four crossbred ewe lambs were each fed 900 g·d-1 of a carotene—deficient diet composed of 95.5% whole oats, 3% molasses, .5% trace …

Comparative Study of Circadian Salivary Cortisol Levels in Colic and Noncolic Infants
… of causes, none of which has been proven. Cortisol is a hormone released by the adrenal cortex. Cortisol is produced by the body according to circadian pattern as well as in response to arousing or potentially stressful events. Cortisol has been associated with infant cry behavior. This …
