by LC-MS/MS is less invasive, more convenient and better time controlled in busy pediatric clinic, therefore is better suited for young children to be used during high dose ACTH stimulation test to evaluate for adrenal insufficiency and to assist interpretation of test results by serum cortisol....

control over one's environment can predict levels of cortisol (e.g., Brown et al., 1996; Pruessner et al., 1997). A person's interpretation of a stressful situation or stimulus determines how the HPA axis responds to that stimulus. For example, in a study ...
Both conventional reference values and comparison of serial results may be equally used for clinical interpretation. A change greater of 104% between two successive measurements should be considered significant. 展开 关键词: Salivary cortisol Cushing's syndrome Biological variation ...
Results Salivary cortisol measured in 61 competing at qualifier 40 km and 80 km rides showed an abrupt variation (93–256% rise) of the baseline SC levels [median ± interquartile range (IQR) = 0.27 ng/dl ± 0.36] obtained at the Pre-Inspection (PI) into Vet Gate...
many people have a needle phobia, potentially causing a stress response that could skew cortisol results. This is where saliva testing comes into its own; samples can be quickly, easily and conveniently taken as often as necessary in the patient’s own home, with no risk to the individual....

The recovery period after the stress test showed the same median level as rest before the stress test (T9: 80 U/ml). Table 3 Results of salivary cortisol, alpha-amylase and miRNAs. Full size table The median concentration of salivary cortisol was lowest during the waiting period and ...
