Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a chronic and recurrent traumatic stressor associated with PTSD; however, its biological correlates are not well understood. This study examined diurnal salivary cortisol and platelet catecholamines in women with lifetime IPV-related PTSD and in women exposed to IPV who did not develop PTSD. Cortisol was elevated in women with lifetime PTSD compared to controls. No differences were found for platelet catecholamines.
亲密伴侣暴力(IPV)是一种与创伤后应激障碍(PTSD)相关的慢性复发性创伤应激源;然而,其生物学关联尚未得到充分理解。本研究检测了患有与IPV相关的终身PTSD的女性以及暴露于IPV但未患PTSD的女性的日间唾液皮质醇和血小板儿茶酚胺。与对照组相比,患有终身PTSD的女性的皮质醇水平升高。血小板儿茶酚胺未发现差异。
