Glossary Prenatal Hormone Exposure

influence of hormones on fetal development during pregnancy

Prenatal hormone exposure refers to the influence of hormones on a developing fetus during pregnancy. These hormones, such as testosterone and estrogen, can affect the development of various physical and behavioral traits, including hair growth patterns and susceptibility to conditions like alopecia. Understanding this exposure is crucial for both predicting developmental outcomes and managing potential health issues.
