Prenatal stress perturbs fetal iron homeostasis in a sex-specific manner [PDF]

Scientific Reports 2022, 2021
What is the influence of chronic maternal prenatal stress (PS) on fetal iron homeostasis? In a prospective case-control study in 164 pregnant women, we show that cord blood transferrin saturation is lower in male stressed neonates. The total effect of PS exposure on fetal ferritin revealed a decrease of 15.4% compared with controls.
