Highlights • Healthy young men and women (in the follicular phase of the menstrual cycle) completed the Trier Social Stress Test. • Post-stress hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis hormone responses were greater in men than women. • Pre-stress testosterone levels were negatively associated with post-stress salivary cortisol response in men. • Pre-stress progesterone levels were negatively associated with post-stress ACTH and serum cortisol responses in women. • Pre-stress progesterone in men and estradiol in women were not associated with post-stress HPA axis response.
