Cognitive scores were lower when the cortisol levels were low at awakening and high at bedtime; and were associated positively with educational level. Cortisol status may influence overall health as well as essential work skills, such as attention....
(Clow et al., 2004;Clow, Hucklebridge, & Thorn, 2010;Fries et al., 2009). From this research it has been established that the magnitude of the CAR is associated with a range of physiological and psychological factors, at both an inter- and intra-individual level. Although it was ...

We report the case of a 7 years old boy being treated for achalasia cardia, presented with fits and altered sensorium which on further investigations was found to be due to adrenal insensitivity (Raised ACTH level, low Cortisol level, and normal Aldosterone and Renin ratio). Allgrove syndrome:...
the cortisol level at the time of Cort2 assessment on the day of the MIST. We found a significant correlation between the predicted cortisol level at the time of Cort2 acquisition and the actually measured Cort2 cortisol level on the day of the MIST (r = 0.42, po0.05), indicating that ...
Lack of sleep affects a number of metabolism influencing areas: your energy level, your resting metabolic rate, your appetite control and your insulin sensitivity. The research shows that even partial sleep deprivation can manipulate some of the key hormones that impact fat loss . In particular whe...
The concordance rate was 99% with three genotyping discrepancies (a single allele in each case) corresponding to an effective error rate of 0.5%, a level of error typically observed with TaqMan data, providing high confidence that data obtained from the array are accurate and correspond to rs...
This specific hormone is the root of a highly surprising level of issues and problems that plague people day to day, without their awareness. Before diving into the side effects of cortisol and how to combat these challenges, let’s touch on the definition of cortisol and why it has a big...
Each participant had five ‘lives’ in each game, and when these had been used up, a new game was initiated. Performance of each twin pair was assessed in terms of the average number of levels reached in each game, and the mean score per level. The average number of levels per game...
