Primate Hair Cortisol Processing l v1
Year: 2021
Type: preprint
Abstract: This is a protocol to quantify cortisol concentration from hair. Cortisol is a glucocorticoid hormone which is prominent in primates and can be used as a retrospective biomarker of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis activity. Our method is adapted from a protocol used in the Meyer Lab (Meyer et al. 2014). Reference: Meyer, J., Novak, M., Hamel, A., & Rosenberg, K. (2014).
