Antenatal stress increases the prevalence of diseases in later life, which shows a strong sex-
specific effect. However, the underlying mechanisms remain unknown. Maternal …

There is growing evidence that stressors occurring during pregnancy can impair biological
and behavioral adaptation to stress in the adult offspring. Mechanisms by which stress in the …

The prenatal and postnatal environment exerts a long-term influence on the stress-response
of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. In this study, the long-term effects of …

Stress during pregnancy can impair biological and behavioral responses in the adult
offspring and some of these effects are associated with structural changes in specific brain …
