Abstract
Attenuation of the cortisol awakening response in recently sexually abused girls suggests that alterations in HPA-axis functioning may occur relatively proximate to the traumatic event and correlate with symptom severity of PTSD, intrusive symptoms, and hyperarousal symptoms. These data raise the possibility that subacute alterations in the dynamic secretion of cortisol are directly related to the pathophysiology of sexual abuse-related PTSD symptoms in adolescent girls.
