Brief Summary

Cortisol is an essential for life hormone secreted in a pulsatile pattern on a diurnal rhythm. Given the complexity of cortisol secretion on a circadian rhythm with pulsations, current methods of cortisol measurement have limitations. Therefore, a non-invasive and ambulatory method would be useful to measure cortisol levels in real-time. The main aim of the study is to compare cortisol levels across biological fluids (sweat, saliva, interstitial fluid, and blood) in order to validate in the long term a continuous and non-invasive cortisol measurement device (currently under development).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Cortisol levels in 4 biologicals fluids

    Comparison of cortisol levels in these 4 biological fluids

    24 hours

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Aldosterone levels in 4 biological fluids

    24 hours

  • Glucocorticoid - comparison of repeated measures of glucocorticoid concentrations (cortisol, 18OHF, cortisone) profiles - over a period of 24 hours

    24 hours

  • Mineralocorticoid - comparison of repeated measures of aldosterone concentrations profiles - over a period of 24 hours

    24 hours

Study Arms (1)

Healthy controls

Other: 24 hours sampling of 4 biological fluids (blood, ISF, sweat and saliva)Other: 24 hours sampling of ISF or sweat (after validating the correlation with blood)

Interventions

24 hours sampling of 4 biological fluids: * blood: sampling every 20 minutes (through a venous catheter) * ISF: automated sampling every 20 minutes (microdialysis technique connected to U-Rhythm device) * Sweat : collection of 1 to 3 samples at 4 differents timepoints * Saliva : sampling every hour (except during the night)

Healthy controls

24 hours sampling in an ambulatory setting
