- •
We assessed cord blood from scheduled caesarean delivery for sex differences in glucocorticoids.
- •
Females had higher cortisol in both venous and arterial circulation.
- •
Fetal adrenal synthesis of cortisol did not differ between males and females.
- •
The findings suggest a role for maternal/placental factors in these sex differences.
