Human DNA methylation and the cortisol response to an acute psychological stressor: a systematic review and meta-analysis

2025-10-24

Abstract excerpt

The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA axis) is an important part of the stress response. The HPA axis may adapt to the environment in part through epigenetics, including DNA methylation. This pre-registered (OSF), PRISMA-compliant systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the level of evidence for an association between DNA methylation and the cortisol response to an acute psychological stressor...
