Both PAE and PS dams had higher corticosterone levels. 11β-HSD2 protein levels were increased in PAE and unchanged in PS placentae. PS female fetuses had higher MR protein levels in the hippocampus and amygdala compared to C female fetuses. PS female fetuses had lower GR protein levels in mPFC compared to C female fetuses. Both PAE and PS attenuated the sexually dimorphic expression of MR, GR and the MR/GR ratio seen in C fetuses.
