Papers
The heritability of perceived stress
Ilona S. Federenko,Wolff Schlotz,Wolff Schlotz,Clemens Kirschbaum,Meike Bartels,Dirk H. Hellhammer,Stefan Wüst +6 more
TL;DR: The present data suggest that perceived stress is in part heritable, that nearly half of the covariance between stress scales is due to genetic factors, and that heritability estimates vary considerably, depending on the questionnaire.
Reactivity of oxytocin in the Trier Social Stress Test: A proof of concept study
Anka Bernhard,Anka Bernhard,Anne Martinelli,Katharina Ackermann,Inga D. Neumann,Clemens Kirschbaum,Christine M. Freitag +6 more
TL;DR: The response to psychosocial stress in both groups of women was substantial and robust and was not readily perturbed by differences in fitness levels.
Two weeks of transdermal estradiol treatment in postmenopausal elderly women and its effect on memory and mood: verbal memory changes are associated with the treatment induced estradiol levels
Oliver T. Wolf,Oliver T. Wolf,Oliver T. Wolf,Brigitte M. Kudielka,Dirk H. Hellhammer,Sonja Törber,Bruce S. McEwen,Clemens Kirschbaum +7 more
TL;DR: The present study supports the idea that estradiol replacement has specific effects on verbal memory in healthy postmenopausal women, with delayed recall being more affected, and suggests that these effects can occur relatively rapidly, and that there may be a dose response relationship of Estradiol to memory enhancement.
Differential heart rate reactivity and recovery after psychosocial stress (TSST) in healthy children, younger adults, and elderly adults: The impact of age and gender
TL;DR: This reanalysis revealed differential heart rate responses and recovery after exposition to the Trier Social Stress Test in healthy children, younger adults, and elderly adults.
Genetic contributions to acute autonomic stress responsiveness in children.
Anett Mueller,Jana Strahler,Diana Armbruster,Klaus-Peter Lesch,Burkhard Brocke,Clemens Kirschbaum +5 more
TL;DR: These findings indicate that these two polymorphisms do indeed influence the ANS response to stress, and provide further evidence for the crucial role of genetic factors in the modulation of differences in the acute stress response during childhood.
