Feasibility of home-based sampling of salivary cortisol and cortisone in healthy adults

Abstract Objective Salivary cortisol and cortisone are used as biomarkers of physiological stress. Careful sampling of saliva for profiling of awakening response and the diurnal slope can be challenging in free-living environments, and validated sampling protocols are lacking. Therefore, we investig...
