Saliva cortisol is a useful, non-invasive biomarker which reflects the HPAA activity and facilitates multi-sampling. Its concentrations are closely correlated to serum cortisol, when controlled for ...

This research sought to explore whether neighbourhood stressor exposure affected serum cortisol levels among children. Methods A total of 148 African and European-American children with an average age ...
