TL;DR
Values in the first month were more variable, daily mean values were greater, and amplitudes of variation were greater than in subsequent months, and the circadian rhythm appeared by the third month.
Abstract
Samples of saliva (4 in 24 hours), collected at monthly intervals for the first 6 months of life in 8 term infants by their mothers, were analysed for cortisol by radioimmunoassay. Values in the first month were more variable, daily mean values were greater, and amplitudes of variation were greater than in subsequent months. The circadian rhythm appeared by the third month.

The measurement of saliva cortisol can be used sufficiently to monitor unbound free concentrations in serum and a well-defined diurnal rhythm and a greater response to ACTH stimulation were observed in saliva cortisol.

Comparison of cortisol concentrations in plasma, parotid saliva, and whole saliva in persons undergoing investigations for assessing adrenal function, including stimulation with cosyntropin (Synacthen) and suppression with dexamethasone, indicated that changes in plasma cortisol concentration were accurately and immediately reflected in saliva from either theParotidgland or whole saliva.

The appearance between ages 1 and 3 yr of an adult pattern of variation in plasma 17-OHCS probably reflects emergence of rhythms of pituitary ACTH secretion comparable to those of adults.

The hypoxanthine analogues did not give a chromatographic derivative under the conditions used and hence the presence in plasma of the deaminated metabolite of ara-A would not interfere with the assay, and with appropriate extraction procedures could be extended to detection of aRA-A in urine and other tissues.
