Figure. Cortisol levels in TMD patients and controls. (A) Cortisol levels (mean ± standard error) over 6 four-hour periods (22:00-01:50, 02:00-05:50, 06:00-09:50, 10:00-13:50, 14:00-17:50, 18:00-21:50) in controls taking OC (n = 9) compared with controls not on OC (n = 6). Cortisol levels were significantly higher in controls on OC compared with levels in those not on OC over the entire 24-hour period. (B) Plasma cortisol in TMD patients (n = 15) and matched controls (n = 15). Mean levels (± standard error) are shown over 6 four-hour periods: 22:00-01:50, 02:00-05:50, 06:00-09:50, 10:00-13:50, 14:00-17:50, 18:00-21:50. * = significant difference (paired t test). (C) Plasma cortisol levels in TMD patients without comorbid depression (n = 11) and in matched controls (n = 11). Mean levels (± standard error) are shown over 6 four-hour periods: 22:00-01:50, 02:00-05:50, 06:00-09:50, 10:00-13:50, 14:00-17:50, 18:00-21:50.
