Schlotz, Wolff, Kumsta, Robert, Layes, Irmgard, Entringer, Sonja, Jones, Alexander, Wüst, Stefan
Objective: To test if the covariance of hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and subjective-psychological responses to stress is dependent on different dynamics of these systems. Although stress...
Gale, Catharine R., Robinson, Sian M., Godfrey, Keith M., Law, Catherine M., Schlotz, Wolff, O'Callaghan, F.J.
Background: Long-chain omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids are thought to be important for fetal neurodevelopment. Animal studies suggest that a deficiency of omega-3 fatty acids may lead to...

Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is characterized by enduring psychological distress and affective dysregulation. Several models have linked both phenomena, but are lacking empirical support. To...

The cortisol awakening response (CAR) is a cortisol rise which is distinct from the circadian rise in hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis activity before awakening. The CAR has been shown to be...
Size at birth and motor activity during stress in children aged 7-9 years (2007)
Schlotz, Wolff, Jones, Alexander, Phillips, Naomi M.M., Godfrey, Keith M., Phillips, David I.W.
Objective: Small size at birth is linked with metabolic and cardiovascular disease. There is increasing evidence that it is also linked with physiological stress responses and abnormal behaviour, in...
Is the cortisol awakening rise a response to awakening? (2007)
Wilhelm, Ines, Born, Jan, Kudielka, Brigitte M., Schlotz, Wolff, Wust, Stefan
A distinct rise in cortisol levels that occurs after morning awakening is increasingly used as an indicator of adrenocortical activity which is associated with different pathologies. Although it was...
Determinants of the diurnal course of salivary alpha-amylase (2007)
Nater, Urs M., Rohleder, Nicholas, Schlotz, Wolff, Ehlert, Ulrike, Kirschbaum, Clemens
Objective: Previous data from our group and others have shown that salivary alpha-amylase activity increases in response to stress. It has been suggested that salivary alpha-amylase may be a marker...

Insulin resistance is a metabolic abnormality that underlies Type 2 diabetes, the metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular disease, but it may also be associated with more global health deficits. This...

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...
Schulz, Peter, Jansen, Lars J., Schlotz, Wolff
The construct of stress reactivity refers to the disposition of a person to answer stressors with immediate, intense, and long lasting stress reactions. Stress reactivity is assumed to be determined...
Becker, Peter, Schulz, Peter, Schlotz, Wolff
This prospective study examines the validity of a systemic demands-resources model of physical health. Randomly chosen adults (N = 276) from 17 to 70 years aged participated. They all completed the...
Schlotz, Wolff, Hellhammer, Juliane, Schulz, Peter, Stone, Arthur A.
OBJECTIVE: The cortisol increase after awakening has been shown to be associated with work-related stress. Several studies demonstrated a moderate stability of cortisol awakening responses on...

Cross-sectional analyses of data from 309 subjects test two hypotheses: (1) Sleep disorders are related to social stress, not work stress, and (2) the personality trait “worry disposition”...
Schulz, Peter, Schlotz, Wolff, Hellhammer, Juliane
Self-report data on sleep in elderly persons are influenced by age-dependent, age-associated, and age-independent factors. This study seeks to test the effects of the age-independent factors chronic...
Schulz, Peter, Schlotz, Wolff, Wolf, Jutta, Wüst, Stefan
Although on average women report more distress, stress and bodily complaints than men, their higher life-expectancy objectively points to better health. The interindividually varying...
Abstract in English . Stimulated by research findings on stress which indicate that chronic, rather than acute, stress is associated with clinically relevant health impairment, the Trierer Inventar...
