Abstract: Studies on the human body’s response to stress have shown a significant role of neurohormonal markers. the stress response is originally governed by two hormonal systems: the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) and the hypothalamic – pituitary – adrenal axis (HPa). Cortisol is well-known as a biological stress marker of the HPa activity. initially, the cortisol level has been measured in blood serum; however, in the 1980s, the biological material used to assess its level became saliva. Since then, non-invasive saliva sampling became a method of choice in studies requiring cortisol measurement.
