Maternal factors influencing subsequent adrenocortical activity in the offspring.
Postnatal handling increases hippocampal glucocorticoid receptors and enhances adrenocortical negative-feedback efficacy in the rat.
Evening activities as a potential confound in research on the adrenocortical system in children.
Adrenocortical and behavioral predictors of immune responses to starting school.
Regression analyses were conducted to determine whether adrenocortical activity was associated with behavioral problems after controlling for significant genetic and environmental factors.
We interpreted this data as suggesting that children may be reactive, in terms of adrenocortical activation, to the family environment in which they live.
The pituitary - adrenocortical system of the neonatal rat is responsive to stress throughout development in a time-dependent and stressor-specific fashion.
Free cortisol levels after awakening : a reliable biological marker for the assessment of adrenocortical activity.
