Abstract
⺠Social subordination alters stress axis activity in female rhesus monkeys. ⺠Compared to dominant females, subordinates show blunted morning cortisol levels. ⺠Subordinates have diminished glucocorticoid negative feedback. ⺠And, subordinate females have decreased cortisol response to ACTH. ⺠Social subordination is an ethologically valid model of chronic stress exposure.
