Novel Biochemical Markers of Psychosocial Stress in Women
Background: Prolonged psychosocial stress is a condition assessed through self-reports. Here we aimed to identify biochemical markers for screening and early intervention in women

Biochemical markers in women experiencing different levels of stress.
<p>Concentration is given in pg/ml except for prolactin (mIU/L), TT3 (ng/ml), TT4 (g/L), and TSH (μIU/ml), and testosterone (nmol/L). Mean (M) and standard deviation (SD) values are indicated for the three test groups. Significant comparisons between groups (P<.05 level) are indicated in the last column.</p
