title: Other nonstress influences can alter salivary α-amylase activity.
abstract: Clearly, more research is required to fully evaluate the impact of stress on both fertile and infertile women, and discovery of a biomarker that correlates well with psychosocial stress would be a great advantage to researchers. This article is a first step toward that goal, but it may be premature to assign these findings to stress alone.
