... (IC). The results of these studies commonly describe right hemispheric engagement of the dorsolateral, ventromedial, or inferior frontal regions of the prefrontal cortex. Considering that typical healthy cognitive development is negatively correlated with higher cortisol levels (which may alter brain...

...). This was associated with a tendency to higher plasma cortisol ( p < 0.05 on day 11). GR preterm pigs showed delayed ability to stand and walk (days 2–5, p < 0.01), but physical activity and proportion of correct choices in a T-maze test (70.3 vs. 71.6%) were similar. Conclusion: Moderate GR has limited effect...

... with prenatal drug exposure. We studied the concordance between baseline respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) at age 3 and baseline cortisol levels at age 11. We hypothesized that children who showed concordance between RSA and cortisol would have lower neurobehavioral disinhibition scores which would in turn...

... (assayed for cortisol) collected pre- and poststress task. A higher percentage in the NE group, compared to the PDE group (26% vs. 12%, χ 2 = 4.70, d.f. = 1, n = 137, p = 0.03), exhibited task-related increases in salivary cortisol. PDE moderated the association between stress reactivity and 11 of 15...

... allopregnanolone treatment. Methods: Pregnant guinea pigs were subjected to stress induced by exposure to a strobe light at 50, 55, 60 and 65 days gestation. Salivary cortisol levels were measured before and after each exposure. Fetal brains were assessed for markers of brain development using immunohistochemistry...

... to be weakly associated with raised maternal cortisol, if at all. The placenta may be a more promising programming vector, because it controls fetal exposure to the maternal environment. Animal studies indicate that prenatal stress can affect the activity of the placental barrier enzyme 11-βHSD2, which...

...A.A. Moscona; Linda Degenstein The developmental pattern of glutamine synthetase (GS) in the neural retina of the quail embryo is described and correlated with retina growth and differentiation. We show that GS in the quail retina can be precociously induced by cortisol, and that the enzyme...

... was found in all tissues between embryonic day 11 and hatching. The application of cortisol enhanced GGT activity particularly on embryonic days 15 and 17. This effect of cortisol was reversed by the concomitant administration of actinomycin D or cycloheximide. The results are discussed in relation...

... fluids of the embryonic chick between day 11 and hatching. Starting on day 15, the administration of cortisol caused a marked increase in the activity of soluble GGT in blood plasma and cerebrospinal fluid which might be related to an increase of the membrane-bound activity of this enzyme...
