What the research tells us
Table 2 first shows nonsignificant stress-group differences from baseline at 10 minutes for renin, 60 for cortisol, 90 for salivary aldosterone and 180 for plasma aldosterone. Renin later undershot baseline at 30 and 60 minutes.
Scope & interpretation
Nonsignificance does not establish equivalence, sustained return or recovery in every participant. Discrete samples do not locate exact transition times. Selected hormones and young men cannot represent whole-person recovery.
Study at a glance
- POPULATION & SAMPLE
- 58 healthy young men randomized to TSST (34) or placebo TSST (24); salivary aldosterone subset 23/15.
- EXPOSURE / INTERVENTION / SUBJECT
- Social-evaluative TSST versus a placebo task.
- OUTCOMES
- Repeated plasma renin, plasma and salivary aldosterone, and salivary cortisol.
- TIME FRAME
- Aldosterone followed for up to 180 minutes; renin and cortisol to 60 minutes after task offset.
