Maternal prenatal stress is associated with the infant intestinal microbiota [PDF]

open access: yesPsychoneuroendocrinology, 2015
Maternal prenatal stress has been often associated with infant physical development and health, as well as psychological functioning and behavior. However, the mechanisms underlying these relations remain elusive. The goal of the present study was to prospectively investigate the development of the intestinal microbiota as a potential pathway linking ...

Prenatal maternal stress: effects on pregnancy and the (unborn) child

Early Human Development, 2002
Animal experiments have convincingly demonstrated that prenatal maternal stress affects pregnancy outcome and results in early programming of brain functions with permanent changes in neuroendocrine regulation and behaviour in offspring.To evaluate the existing evidence of comparable effects of prenatal stress on human pregnancy and child development ...

Effects of prenatal stress on maternal behavior in the rat

Developmental Brain Research, 2002
Some authors reported a link between maternal stress and disturbances in their infants. Because of difficulties due to human research, the effects of prenatal stress have to be examined in animal models. Our approach was original in that the stressor was an ecological one and was applied at a given gestational day.

Prenatal stress alters maternal aggression in mice

Physiology & Behavior, 1988
Prenatal stress (heat and restraint) reduced pregnancy-induced and elevated postpartum aggression in Rockland-Swiss (R-S) albino female mice. Though prenatally-stressed females were indistinguishable from control animals with respect to parental behavior during the virgin state, the former displayed slightly lower levels of nestbuilding during early ...

Prenatal stress reduces maternal aggression by mice offspring

Physiology and Behavior, 1979
Abstract Pregnant mice were subjected to the simultaneous stress of heat, restraint and bright lights during the last trimester of gestation whereas control mothers remained unhandled in the home cage. As adults, prenatally-stressed and nonstressed mice were mated and tested for maternal aggression.

Influence of prenatal maternal stress on the immunocompetence of the offspring

Pharmacology Biochemistry and Behavior, 1992
To evaluate the effects of prenatal maternal stress on the development of humoral immunocompetence in the offspring and on their hormonal and immunologic responses to postnatal stress, gravid Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed daily on gestational days 15-21 to prenatal environmental stress [(PES) 15 unsignaled, inescapable electric foot-shocks (0.05 mA ...

Maternal alexithymic traits, prenatal stress, and infant temperament

Infant Behavior and Development, 2015
We aimed at investigating, whether maternal alexithymia or prenatal anxiety influences infant temperament (Infant Temperament Questionnaire, IBQ) at six months. Maternal alexithymic trait of "Difficulty in Identifying Feelings" predicted higher infant "Duration of Orienting". "Fear of Bearing a Handicapped Child" predicted lower infant "Activity Level".
