Individual free cortisol levels in the plasma (A), saliva (C) and urine (E), and mean (± SEM) free cortisol levels in the plasma (B), saliva (D) and urine (F): endogenous (blue circle) levels and after oral (green triangle) or intravenous (red square) hydrocortisone. The arrows in Figure 2 C indicate two extreme salivary cortisol outliers 1 h after oral hydrocortisone (596 and 2385 nmol/L).
