150-180 / 1000+ resultsresearch Hair cortisol concentrations in mental disorders: A systematic review
People with depression often have higher hair cortisol levels, while those with PTSD tend to have lower levels, but more research is needed to understand this fully.
research Extraction and Analysis of Cortisol from Human and Monkey Hair
Hair cortisol analysis effectively measures long-term stress.
research 5α-Metabolism in Finasteride-Treated Subjects and Male Pseudohermaphrodites with Inherited 5α-Reductase Deficiency
Finasteride lowers DHT levels and raises testosterone in a dose-dependent way.
research Not the Root of the Problem—Hair Cortisol and Cortisone Do Not Mediate the Effect of Child Maltreatment on Body Mass Index
Child abuse is linked to higher BMI, but not because of hair cortisol or cortisone levels.
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 Coat color and other factors influencing hair cortisol concentration in domestic cats
Black hair in cats has higher cortisol levels than white hair.
research Parity-related variation in cortisol concentrations in hair during pregnancy and in the postpartum period: a prospective cohort study
First-time mothers had higher stress hormone levels in late pregnancy than mothers who had given birth before.
research Aldosterone- and cortisol-cosecreting adrenal adenoma, ovarian hyperthecosis and breast cancer
The conclusion is that thorough investigation of hypertension and hormonal dysfunctions is important, and there may be a link between these conditions and cancer.
research 5α-Reductase inhibitors alter steroid metabolism and may contribute to insulin resistance, diabetes, metabolic syndrome and vascular disease: a medical hypothesis
Some hair loss and prostate drugs might increase the risk of diabetes and heart disease.
research Evidence for Increased 5α-Reductase Activity During Early Childhood in Daughters of Women With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Young girls whose mothers have PCOS may have higher activity of a specific enzyme that could lead to developing PCOS later.
research The diagnosis of nonclassic congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency, based on serum basal or post-ACTH stimulation 17-hydroxyprogesterone, can lead to false-positive diagnosis
Using 17-hydroxyprogesterone levels to diagnose nonclassic congenital adrenal hyperplasia can result in many incorrect diagnoses.
research Temporary Relocation during Rest Periods: Relocation Stress and Other Factors Influence Hair Cortisol Concentrations in Horses
Moving horses to new places can increase their stress levels, as shown by higher stress hormone in their hair.
research An X-traordinary stroke
Untreated congenital adrenal hyperplasia can lead to complications like stroke and needs glucocorticoid treatment.
research Experiences of discrimination during pregnancy predict altered neonatal hair cortisol at birth
Discrimination during pregnancy affects newborn stress hormone levels.
research Complications of Cushing's syndrome: state of the art
Cushing's syndrome can cause serious health problems, and early treatment is crucial, but some issues may remain after treatment.
research Female Pseudohermaphroditism Caused by a Novel Homozygous Missense Mutation of the GR Gene
A new gene mutation causes female pseudohermaphroditism due to glucocorticoid resistance.
research Ketoconazole Therapy for Women with Acne and/or Hirsutism
Ketoconazole reduced hair growth and improved acne in women, but caused side effects needing careful monitoring.
research Within-person changes of cortisol, dehydroepiandrosterone, testosterone, estradiol, and progesterone in hair across pregnancy, with comparison to a non-pregnant reference group
Hormone levels in hair change during pregnancy, with progesterone increasing significantly compared to non-pregnant women.

Wildebeest stress and hormone levels are influenced by food availability, human presence, and reproductive cycles.
research Recent advances in the molecular mechanisms determining tissue sensitivity to glucocorticoids: novel mutations, circadian rhythm and ligand-induced repression of the human glucocorticoid receptor
New findings explain how genetic changes, body clocks, and certain molecules affect tissue response to stress hormones.
research Primary Generalized Glucocorticoid Resistance and Hypersensitivity
The conclusion is that genetic changes in the glucocorticoid receptor can lead to conditions affecting stress response, immunity, and metabolism, requiring personalized treatment.
