Chronic prenatal corticosterone exposure alters postpartum maternal behavior and shapes sex-specific offspring outcomes

2026-08-14

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Stress during the prenatal period increases the risk in the next generation for negative health outcomes, including cardio-metabolic dysfunction and psychiatric diseases. To standardize prenatal exposure to stress hormone levels, we administered corticosterone (20 mg/kg s.c.) chronically (C-CORT) to pregnant mouse dams daily from gestational day 12–18. We monitored physiological, neural...
