Leptin Alters Adrenal Responsiveness by Decreasing Expression of ACTH-R, StAR, and P450c21 in Hypoxemic Fetal Sheep

The late gestation increase in adrenal responsiveness to adrenocorticotropin (ACTH) is dependent upon the upregulation of the ACTH receptor (ACTH-R), steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (StAR), and steroidogenic enzymes in the fetal adrenal. Long-term hypoxia decreases the expression of these and...
