No research, but there is at least one anecdotal report involving an actual blood test (n=1 though):

However it stands to reason that since semax mimics ACTH, and ACTH stimulates the production of cortisol (and other hormones), that if your body was adapting to above average levels of ACTH that it would downregulate cortisol production.
Disclaimer: I'm not a scientist or anything. So take it with a grain of salt. I could be wayy off.
Maybe I'll have a blood test done when I get off this current cycle.

Semax is only ACTH 4-7. It's nowhere near the full ACTH sequence. So it is not going to affect your body in the same way. Studies have shown it not to affect cortisol levels.
