Glucocorticoid trajectories in preterm infants—born too soon, wired differently
Despite a high production rate of GC precursors in preterm infants, the total GC production remained relatively constant and was regulated at the level of CYP11B1. Persisting differences between preterm and full-term infants in GC precursor levels as well as in GC production were observed, indicating possible programming effects of preterm birth.
