...K. Milković; M. Peruzović; R. Romić; J. Paunović; K. Pope The postnatal development of pups belonging to the small, prenatally reduced litters (PRN) was compared to that of pups of the postnatally reduced litters (PST) and to that of pups of intact, normal-size litters (CON). Body, adrenal...

... to 91%. 1 day after removal of maternal adrenals both maternal and fetal corticosterone were normal, indicating ability of fetal adrenals to function.

...James F. Padbury; Calvin J. Hobel; Fred A. Gonzalez; Delbert A. Fisher The development of the sympatho-adrenal system is important for neonatal adaptation to extrauterine life. On the basis of previous studies suggesting relatively accelerated adrenal maturation in the female rabbit fetus, we...

...Gül Ismahan; Hasan Parvez; Simone Parvez Experiments show the influence of progressive starvation upon the synthetic and metabolic activity of monoaminergic function in the brain and the adrenal gland of young rats of two different ages.

... multiple fetal sources as a response to hypoxemic stress. As inhibins may affect the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis which plays an important role in the mechanisms of adaptations to the post-natal life, inhibin B in fetal circulation might then be beneficial to a fetus whose intrauterine survival...
