Effect of High Blood Cortisol Concentration on the Spectroscopically Determined Second-Ary Structure of Proteins and Lipid Balance on the Example of Elite Women Volleyball Players
Abstract:Cortisol is a stress hormone that plays a crucial role in the balance between phospholipids and lipids levels. In consequence, it affects the secondary structure of proteins. Currently cortisol concentration in serum is determined by a biochemical analysis. A new optical method to estimate the stress level is proposed in this work. Infrared and Raman spectroscopies were used to determine the quantitative and qualitative changes in lipids and proteins fractions in the function of cortisol concentration in 49 sa… Show more
