Saliva Hormones Profile

Stress can manifest in various forms, including mental, physiological, and environmental stressors, and can trigger a physiological response in the body. The body’s ability to cope with daily stress is influenced by various factors that can tax its systems, such as allergies, environmental pollutants, infections, sleep deprivation, and mental illness. When confronted with physical or emotional stress, the adrenal glands release cortisol and DHEA, which can be beneficial in handling immediate challenges. However, prolonged exposure to a constant “fight or flight” response can accelerate aging and lead to health problems. In today’s fast-paced world, people often have little time to allow their bodies to recover from stress, which can result in chronic stress. Chronic stress can have a negative impact on cardiovascular health, reproduction, mental health, anxiety, immune function, blood sugar stability, and increase the risk of cancer.

Testosterone is the main sex hormone in males and is secreted in intermittent bursts throughout the day. As an anabolic hormone, it plays a vital role in both male and female physiology. Adequate levels of testosterone are crucial for maintaining healthy bones, robust muscle strength, endurance, sexual desire and performance, cardiovascular health, and mental acuity.

As females transition into adulthood, their bodies undergo hormonal changes that initiate the onset of menstruation. The menstrual cycle consists of two distinct phases – the first phase, which occurs before ovulation, is characterized by a dominance of estrogen, while the second phase, which occurs after ovulation, is characterized by a dominance of progesterone. These monthly fluctuations between estrogen and progesterone are essential for maintaining a woman’s well-being. In men, a correlation has been observed between elevated levels of estrogen and decreased levels of testosterone, which may increase the risk of prostate issues.
