Discrimination during pregnancy affects newborn stress hormone levels.

This study observed that higher anxiety levels in pregnant individuals are negatively correlated with neonatal hair cortisol, suggesting that increased anxiety during pregnancy may affect fetal cortisol accumulation, which is important for fetal development and associated with birth outcomes and cognitive function.

In this study, researchers found that higher levels of general and pregnancy-related anxiety during gestation were negatively correlated with neonatal hair cortisol levels, suggesting that increased maternal anxiety may alter fetal cortisol exposure, which is important for fetal development.

This study observed significantly higher hair cortisol concentrations in foals compared to mares, with a strong positive correlation between the two, suggesting that hair cortisol can reflect maternal and fetal cortisol exposure during the last trimester of gestation in horses.

This study found that piglets' rapid growth during nursery and lactation was linked to changes in microbiota composition and increased cortisol conversion, highlighting critical early life factors influencing adult microbiota establishment.

This study found that cortisol increases mac25/IGFBP-rP1 expression in osteoblast-enriched cells from fetal rat calvariae, indicating transcriptional regulation which may influence IGF and insulin effects in bone.

In this study, researchers assessed cortisol levels in wolves by comparing hair and fecal samples and found a significant correlation, indicating that hair cortisol accurately reflects systemic levels, but season and body region affect results.

This study found that cortisol and corticosterone led to thinning of the epidermis and hair follicle regression in fetal mouse skin, while testosterone promoted differentiation and sebaceous gland development.

This case study highlights the significance of early diagnosis and treatment of Cushing's syndrome during pregnancy, as it is associated with severe maternal and fetal complications, including stillbirth.

This study found that manipulating maternal cortisol levels during pregnancy altered Merino sheep wool characteristics, increasing fibre length and reducing crimp frequency in the offspring.

In this study, pair housing of rhesus macaques after intrafacility transfer reduced some undesirable behaviors and diarrhea compared to single housing, although no cortisol level differences were observed.

This article reviews the use of hair cortisol concentration as a biomarker to assess long-term stress in both animals and humans, but it reports no new experimental results.

Darker hair may lead to higher cortisol readings, suggesting a need to adjust for hair color in studies.

This study found that women with PCOS had significantly higher hair cortisol concentrations, suggesting hyperactivation of the HPA axis may affect metabolic and inflammatory markers in those with elevated cortisol levels.

This study observed that hair loss in captive rhesus macaques varies with season, sex, and housing conditions, and is significantly correlated with HPA axis activity as indicated by faecal cortisol metabolites.

This review summarizes the use of fecal glucocorticoid metabolite analysis to monitor stress across various bear species and reports no new clinical results.

This study found that sampling hair for cortisol analysis in mother-toddler dyads living in low-income U.S. homes is feasible, with 66% of approached dyads participating.

This study demonstrated that cortisol, estradiol, and testosterone are preserved in archaeological human hair, allowing for the analysis of ancient stress and reproductive hormone patterns.

This study found that maternal caffeine intake during gestation and lactation can lead to skin lesions like hypotrichosis and alopecia in both mother and offspring rats, irrespective of maternal cortisol levels.

This study observed that in privately owned, intact cats, male cats exhibited significantly higher long-term hair cortisol concentrations compared to females, while environmental and behavioral factors did not significantly impact cortisol levels, suggesting individual traits may influence stress markers more than external factors.

Phenobarbitone can cause severe and sometimes fatal skin reactions.

This study developed a new analytical method to identify a wide range of endocrine disrupting compounds in full-term amniotic fluid, revealing diverse substances with potential endocrine activity.

This review discusses the reclassification of pregnancy-related skin diseases and provides a management algorithm but reports no new clinical findings.

Testosterone may both worsen and protect against COVID-19 effects in men.

Higher pre-pregnancy BMI is linked to more stress in mothers and more behavioral problems in two-year-old children.

This study observed that pregnant women experienced an increase in hair cortisol concentrations, with primiparae having significantly higher levels in the last trimester compared to multiparae.

This study found low concordance between distal and proximal hair cortisol concentrations during early pregnancy, particularly when measured with different assay methods.

The researchers observed that pregnancy in rhesus monkeys was associated with an increased incidence of hair loss, though the underlying reasons remain unclear.

This study concluded that qiviut cortisol can be used as a measure of HPA axis activity in muskoxen, with hair growth phase and body region affecting cortisol levels.

This study found that pubic skin fibroblasts respond to androgens, increasing 5α-reductase activity via an androgen receptor-mediated mechanism, suggesting its potential as a marker of androgen action in vitro.
