    • BACKGROUND Because alterations in cortisol negative feedback inhibition associated with aging are generally opposite of those observed in posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), we examined the cortisol and glucocorticoid receptor (GR) response to dexamethasone (DEX) in older trauma survivors. METHODS Twenty-three Holocaust survivors (9 men, 14 women), 27 combat veterans (all male), and 10 comparison subjects (7 men, 3 women) provided samples for plasma or salivary cortisol and glucocorticoid… CONTINUE READING
