AI Article Synopsis
- Stress-related eating is prevalent, yet there's limited research focusing on cortisol's influence in adolescents and young adults.
- Researchers conducted a study with 123 participants using the Trier Social Stress Test to measure cortisol levels and collected data on daily stress and snack consumption over 14 days.
- Results showed that daily stress increased snack intake, especially during ego-threatening and academic stress, while cortisol reactivity influenced this relationship, suggesting higher reactivity may decrease stress's effect on eating.
- Future studies are encouraged to further explore these dynamics and other factors related to stress and eating behaviors in young people.
Article Abstract
Stress-related eating has been well documented in previous literature. However, there is limited research investigating the role of cortisol reactivity in daily stress-eating associations in samples of adolescents and young adults. 123 participants completed a baseline questionnaire and the Trier Social Stress Test in groups. Four saliva samples were taken at - 10, + 00, + 10 and + 40 min during the stress-induction task. Following this, participants completed an online daily diary each evening for 14 consecutive days to record daily stress and between-meal snack consumption. Multilevel modelling indicated that daily stress was positively associated with daily snack intake, particularly for ego-threatening and work/academic stressors. Emotional and external eating styles were found to moderate the stress-snacking relationship. Cortisol reactivity also moderated stress-eating associations, such that as cortisol reactivity levels increased from lower to higher levels, the impact of stress on eating decreased. The current findings highlight the importance of cortisol reactivity status and eating styles in understanding the complex relationship between daily stress and eating behavior in adolescents and young adults. Future research should continue investigating stress-eating associations in these groups and explore the role of other aspects of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis functioning.

Individualized identification value of stress-related network structural-functional properties and HPA axis reactivity for subthreshold depression.

Accumulating studies have highlighted the links between stress-related networks and the HPA axis for emotion regulation and proved the mapping associations between altered structural and functional networks (called SC-FC coupling) in depression. However, the signatures of SC-FC coupling in subthreshold depression (StD) individuals and their relationships with HPA axis reactivity, as well as the predictive power of these combinations for discriminating StD, remain unclear. This cross-sectional study enrolled 160 adults, including 117 StD and 43 healthy controls (HC).

Background: Corticosteroid-binding globulin (CBG) modulates tissue cortisol availability via modification of cortisol:CBG binding affinity in response to multiple factors, including neutrophil elastase (NE) cleavage of the reactive centre loop (RCL), converting high affinity CBG (haCBG) to low affinity CBG (laCBG). In vitro, glycosylation of the RCL at Asn347 affects NE cleavage susceptibility. To date, no direct measurement of laCBG, which would verify NE cleavage, has been reported.

Background: As the Internet of Things (IoT) expands, it enables new forms of communication, including interactions mediated by teleoperated robots like avatars. While extensive research exists on the effects of these devices on communication partners, there is limited research on the impact on the operators themselves. This study aimed to objectively assess the psychological and physiological effects of operating a teleoperated robot, specifically Telenoid, on its human operator.

Article Synopsis
- Artri King was an over-the-counter supplement aimed at treating joint pain, but the FDA warned it contained hidden ingredients like dexamethasone, which can pose health risks like adrenal insufficiency.
- A study was conducted on patients who used the supplement and found significant health issues, including low cortisol levels and one case of new diabetes, prompting referrals to endocrinology.
- The findings highlight the potential severe effects of such supplements, leading to recommendations for regular screening and careful monitoring of patients who use them.

Psychosocial stress has been proposed to induce a redistribution of immune cells, but a comparison with an active placebo-psychosocial stress control condition is lacking so far. We investigated immune cell redistribution due to psychosocial stress compared to that resulting from an active placebo-psychosocial stress but otherwise identical control condition. Moreover, we tested for mediating effects of endocrine parameters and blood volume changes.
