The stress response of salivary alpha-amylase (sAA) has been suggested as an index for sympathetic nervous system activation. However, concurrent inhibition the parasympathetic is discussed a confounder due to suppression saliva flow rate. Here we set out test influence stress-induced changes in rate on sAA secretion. Twenty-six subjects underwent Trier Social Stress Test and control condition. Saliva was sampled by passive drooling or salivettes. rate, levels output, cortisol, heart...
The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between early childhood professionals' (ECPs) stress regulation (using salivary cortisol and alpha-amylase [AA] measurements), work engagement quality their pedagogical in integrated special day-care groups. Participants were 89 ECPs from 21 groups located Helsinki, Finland. educational needs children (who 3 6 years age) these varied language disorders self-regulation difficulties severe disabilities. Data collected by using surveys,...
The aim of the present study was to assess effects daily stress perception on cognitive performance and morning basal salivary cortisol alpha-amylase levels in healthy children aged 9–12. Participants were classified by whether they had low perceived (LPS, n = 27) or a high (HPS, 26) using Children Daily Stress Inventory (CDSI). Salivary measured at awakening 30 minutes later. Cognitive assessed Drug Research assessment system. HPS group exhibited significantly poorer scores speed memory (p...
To examine the relationship between plasma glucagon levels and insulin sensitivity secretion in obese subjects.Suppression of was examined 275 Hispanic Americans with varying glucose tolerance. All subjects received a 2-hour oral tolerance test (OGTT) subset (n = 90) had euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamp. During OGTT, we quantitated suppression concentration, Matsuda index sensitivity, secretion/insulin resistance (disposition) index. Plasma compared quartiles beta-cell function.Fasting were...
The purpose of the present study was to compare reactivity HPA-axis in children diagnosed with different subtypes ADHD against a healthy control group. This included total 66 children: 33 diagnoses (10 prevalent inattentive symptoms, 9 hyperactive-impulsive symptoms and 14 combined subtype) controls. Trier Stress Social Test for Children (TSST-C) employed as stressor. test two main stressors: first, completing story initiated by an interviewer, second, executing timed cognitive task. Saliva...
Abstract Purpose This work aimed to evaluate genotype-phenotype associations in individuals carrying germline variants of transmembrane protein 127 gene (TMEM127), a poorly known that confers susceptibility pheochromocytoma (PHEO) and paraganglioma (PGL). Design Data were collected from registry probands with TMEM127 variants, published reports, public databases. Main Outcome Analysis Clinical, genetic, functional determined. Results The cohort comprised 110 index patients (111 variants)...
Abstract We studied the changes in salivary alpha‐amylase ( sAA ) and other psychophysiological indices (heart rate, skin conductance, corrugator supercilii activity) elicited by sustained exposure to affective pictures. Thirty‐nine subjects viewed five blocks of pictures depicting mutilations, human attack, neutral scenes, sport/adventure, erotica. Each block comprised 12 same content. Saliva samples were collected before after each The results showed that mutilation promoted greatest...
Animal research plays a central role in psychology, and its use, prevalence quality depends on the attitudes of students who enter psychology Spain. Attitudes among about use laboratory animals are not known, so aim this work was to analyze Spanish toward animal research. An attitude questionnaire 15 items given 661 undergraduate School Psychology at University Málaga, Several results were found: (a) 65.7% respondents strongly agreed or with General support for significantly higher by men...
Abstract Recent studies suggest that acute administration of 3,4‐methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA), an amphetamine derivative popularly known as “ecstasy,” produces antiaggressive effect in male mice. However, there is no evidence with respect to the development tolerance or sensitization after its subchronic intermittent administration. In this study, we examined action low moderate doses MDMA (1.25, 2.5 and 5 mg/kg, i.p), administered acutely, subchronically (for 7 days) intermittently,...
The term daily stress refers to the small setbacks and frustrations that children adults experience as part of everyday life. Daily in childhood has been associated with problems such anxiety, depression, low self-esteem physical problems. It also linked difficulties peer relationships, irritability, aggressiveness poor academic performance. These consequences highlight need develop not only instruments for detecting it but psychoeducational interventions tackling it. This article describes...
Abstract The main aim of this study was to confirm the relationship between executive performance and salivary alpha-amylase (SAA) activity in a sample 64 healthy children (39 boys), compare it association SAA output flow rate (SFR). Executive functioning assessed via fluency, trail-making, rings inhibition tasks from Batería de Evaluación Neuropsicológica la Función Ejecutiva en Niños [Battery Neuropsychological Assessment for Function Children] (ENFEN), merged into an ENFEN total score....
