HAIR CORTISOL PREDICTS ANXIETY AND BEHAVIOR IN INFANT MONKEYS

该子项目是利用该技术的众多研究子项目之一 资源由 NIH/NCRR 资助的中心拨款提供。子项目和 研究者 (PI) 可能已从 NIH 的另一个来源获得主要资金， 因此可以在其他 CRISP 条目中表示。列出的机构是 对于中心来说，它不一定是研究者的机构。 人类和非人类灵长类动物的毛发皮质醇浓度增加与压力暴露有关，并且毛发皮质醇现在作为与压力相关的健康问题的生物标志物而受到关注。 然而，迄今为止，还没有研究检验其在预测未来心理健康问题方面的有用性。 这项研究确定了毛发皮质醇是否是年轻恒河猴（Macaca mulatta）后期焦虑的重要预测因子。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. Increased hair cortisol concentrations have been correlated with stress exposure in both human and non-human primates, and hair cortisol is now gaining attention as a biomarker for stress-related health problems. However, to date, no studies have examined its usefulness for predicting future mental health problems. This study determined whether hair cortisol was a significant predictor of later anxiety in young rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta).
