Effects of sex and menstrual cycle phase on cardiac response and alpha- amylase levels in psychosocial stress 2019 Access copy available to the general public Unrestricted The impact of sex and the menstrual cycle phase on the autonomic response to psychosocial stress remains controversial. This study explored autonomic nervous system activity through salivary alpha-amylase, heart rate, and heart rate variability responses to the Trier Social Stress Test (TSST) in healthy young people. The sample was composed of 25 men, 26 women in the luteal phase, and 25 women in the follicular phase, from 18 to 25 years of age. Participants were exposed to the TSST or a control condition. The results indicate that women in their follicular phase showed a blunted alpha-amylase response to stress compared to men and women in the luteal phase. In addition, men showed higher sympatho-vagal activity in the stress condition compared to the two groups of women. These results confirm that sex and the menstrual cycle phase are potential modulators of autonomic nervous system reactivity to psychosocial stress. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA-FEDER/Construyendo Europa desde Aragón info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MEC/PSI2013-46889 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by-nc-nd http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/ 2.763 2019 PSYCHOLOGY, EXPERIMENTAL 21 / 87 = 0.241 2019 Q1 T1 PSYCHOLOGY, BIOLOGICAL 5 / 13 = 0.385 2019 Q2 T2 BEHAVIORAL SCIENCES 18 / 52 = 0.346 2019 Q2 T2 PSYCHOLOGY 23 / 77 = 0.299 2019 Q2 T1 1.446 2019 Neuropsychology and Physiological Psychology 2019 Q1 Neuroscience (miscellaneous) 2019 Q2 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion Villada, C.
