The study aimed to measure salivary cortisol and cortisone concentrations, and then correlated both with the levels of total serum cortisol (determined by immunoassay) and free cortisol and cortisone in serum. The study concluded that both psychophysiological investigation and salivary cortisol measurement is a useful tool for assessing hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis activity in obese women1.

Abstract
