- Analysis of cortisol in hair--state of the art and future directions. (2012, background): “The speed of scalp hair growth shows some variation between individuals, depending on factors such as race, sex or age; however, an average growth rate of about 1 cm/month is generally accepted (Wennig, 2000).”
- Hair cortisol as a biological marker of chronic stress: current status, future directions and unanswered questions. (2012, background): “Therefore the most proximal 1 cm segment to the scalp approximates the last month’s cortisol production, the second most proximal 1 cm segment approximates the production during the month before that and so on (Wennig, 2000).”
- Hair cortisol concentration as a noninvasive measure of long-term stress in free-ranging grizzly bears (Ursus arctos): considerations with implications for other wildlife (2010, background): “Sampling and processing protocols along with the intrinsic characteristics of hair are known to influence the measurement and interpretation of drug, xenobiotic, or hormone concentrations in this medium (Cone and Joseph 1996; Wennig 2000; Davenport et al. 2006; Kidwell and Smith 2007; Sauvé et al. 2”
- Hair cortisol, stress exposure, and mental health in humans: a systematic review. (2013, background): “As hair grows approximately one centimeter per month (Wennig, 2000), hair analysis offers the possibility to show the average long-term activity of the HPA axis, and to compare several hair segments/ months with each other, including segments before the presence of a stressful event.”
- Analysis of endogenous cortisol concentrations in the hair of rhesus macaques. (2006, methodology): “The hair samples were placed into small pouches of aluminum foil for protection during storage as described in Wennig (2000).”
