Early gestation heat stress influences fetal biomarkers indicative of maternal cortisol transfer in pigs

Abstract In utero heat stress (IUHS) alters hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis development in pigs; however, the mechanisms mediating this effect remain unclear. This study aimed to evaluate cortisol transfer dynamics from the heat-stressed (HS) dam to the IUHS conceptus during early gestatio...
