Influence of prenatal psychosocial stress on cytokine production in adult women (2008)
Entringer, Sonja, Kumsta, Robert, Nelson, Edward L., Hellhammer, Dirk H., Wadhwa, Pathik D., Wüst, Stefan
The aim of the present study was to determine the association between prenatal stress and immune function in human adults. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from 34 healthy young women whose...

Pregnancy is associated with considerable physiological adaptations, some of which long outlast the state of pregnancy. Although it is well documented that pregnancy produces alterations of the...
The heritability of perceived stress (2006)
Federenko, Ilona S., Schlotz, Wolff, Kirschbaum, Clemens, Bartels, Meike, Hellhammer, Dirk H., Wüst, Stefan
Background. Exploration of the degree to which perceived chronic stress is heritable is important as these self-reports have been linked to stress-related health outcomes. The aims of this study were...

Chronic dysregulation of hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis activity is related to several stress-related disorders. Evidence suggests that polymorphisms in the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) gene may...
Free cortisol awakening responses are influenced by awakening time (2004)
Federenko, Ilona, Wüst, Stefan, Hellhammer, Dirk H., Dechoux, Ralph, Kumsta, Robert, Kirschbaum, Clemens
Psychobiological investigations on the hypothalamus–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis depend on markers that adequately describe the activity of this system. There is evidence that the free cortisol...
