research Toward a Diagnostic Score in Cushing's Syndrome
The document suggests creating a validated score to diagnose Cushing's Syndrome and considers plasma steroid profiling as a simpler diagnostic method.
research The Effects of Single Testosterone Administration and Stress Induction on Steroid Hormone Levels in Hair
Testosterone increases hair testosterone levels, stress raises hair cortisol, and relationship status affects hormone levels.
research HPA Axis Variation and ACEs; Childhood Sexual Trauma is Associated with Lower Hair Cortisol in Adulthood
Childhood sexual trauma, especially between ages 5-7, is linked to lower cortisol levels in adult hair, suggesting long-term stress response changes.
research LC‐MS/MS‐based method for long‐term steroid profiling in human scalp hair
A new method accurately measures long-term steroid levels in human hair.
research Corticotropin releasing factor-1 receptor antagonism associated with favorable outcomes of male reproductive health biochemical parameters
Blocking CRF1 receptors improved male hormone levels and reduced testicular tumor size in men with a specific adrenal condition.
research Epidermal cell proliferation and modulation of the protective potency of dexamethasone against phorbol ester-induced ornithine decarboxylase activity
Dexamethasone reduces inflammation and delays skin cell changes caused by TPA.
research Hair cortisol/cortisone in combined oral contraceptive users: An exploratory analysis
COC use doesn't increase hair stress hormone levels, but hair treatments may affect results.
research Association Between Hair Cortisol Levels AndKeratoconus: A Prospective Study

Stress worsens Tourette symptoms by increasing allopregnanolone levels.
research What Are Normal Cortisol Values for Young Children
Hair cortisol levels can indicate chronic stress in children, with differences seen between races.
research Quantifying long-term stress in brown bears with the hair cortisol concentration: a biomarker that may be confounded by rapid changes in response to capture and handling
Hair cortisol levels in brown bears can be affected by both long-term and short-term stress.
research Corticosterone inhibits GAS6 to govern hair follicle stem-cell quiescence
Stress hormone stops a growth signal and keeps hair stem cells inactive, reducing hair growth.
research Higher cortisol content in hair among long-term unemployed individuals compared to controls
Long-term unemployment leads to higher stress levels.
research AN ATTEMPT TO ASSESS THE MAGNITUDE OF ENDOGENOUS ANDROGEN PRODUCTION IN A CASE OF THE ADRENOGENITAL SYNDROME*
A 17-year-old female with adrenogenital syndrome produces very high levels of androgens, which prevent complete feminization despite high estrogen doses.
research Hair Cortisol as a Biomarker of Chronic Stress in Community-Dwelling Adults With Longstanding Multiple Sclerosis
Hair cortisol levels don't reliably indicate chronic stress in people with multiple sclerosis.
research Hair Cortisol in Sheltered Cows and Its Association with Other Welfare Indicators
High hair cortisol levels indicate stress in cows due to poor shelter conditions and health issues.
research Relationship of Hair Cortisol Concentration With Perceived and Somatic Stress Indices: Cross-Sectional Pilot Study
Hair cortisol concentration may reflect some physiological stress but doesn't strongly correlate with perceived stress.
research Why steroids may not always work in alopecia areata: elevated unoccupied glucocorticoid receptors and decreased levels of thioredoxin
Steroids may not work well for alopecia areata because of high unoccupied receptors and low thioredoxin levels.
research Hair cortisol: an indicator of HPA activity in relation to environmental perception in New Zealand White rabbit.
Hair cortisol reliably indicates stress in rabbits.
