Maternal corticosterone in the mouse alters oxidative stress markers, antioxidant function and mitochondrial content in placentas of female fetuses
26 Apr 2019
Abstract excerpt
Key points Maternal exposure to the stress hormone corticosterone is known to programme a range of sex specific disease outcomes in offspring. Sex differences in placental adaptations are thought to mediate these processes. Placental oxidative stress is implicated in a range of pregnancy disorders but the role of placental oxidative stress in sex specific disease outcomes following prenatal corticosterone...
