“Despite an increased basal activity of the CRH-ACTH system, the combination of chronic prenatal and postnatal stress resulted in a significant reduction of basal plasma corticosterone level, presumably because of a defect in adrenal function.”
“ Prenatal Dex permanently raised basal plasma corticosterone levels, but under stress conditions there were no differences in circulating corticosterone levels.”
“In addition, prenatally treated males had higher stress levels of corticosterone than neonatally and adult-treated males, regardless of the type of treatment.”
