title: [Study of salivary cortisol using radioimmunological assay. Diagnostic value].
abstract: Salivary cortisol levels reflect the biologically active "free" fraction of blood cortisol. The authors describe the results obtained with the aim of a radio-immunoassay commercial serum cortisol kit, without prealable extraction in different physiological and pathological situations. Salivary cortisol determination appears performant both in nycthemeral studies and in stimulation or freination tests.
