Abstract Adverse early-life experiences alter the regulation of major stress systems such as the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. Low early-life maternal care (MC) has repeatedly been related to blunted cortisol stress responses. Likewise. an acutely increased awareness of mortality (mortality salience [MS]) also has been shown to blunt cortisol responses. https://citylocers.shop/product-category/engraved-license-plates/
