Genetic Influences on Hormonal Markers of Chronic HPA Function in Human Hair

2016-05-24

Abstract excerpt

Cortisol is the primary output of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and is central to the human biological stress response, with wide-ranging effects on physiological function and psychiatric health. In both humans and animals, cortisol is frequently studied as a biomarker for exposure to environmental stress. Relatively little attention has been paid to the possible role of genetic variation in hetero...
