Responses of the Fetal Pituitary-Adrenal Axis to Acute and Chronic Hypoglycemia during Late Gestation in the Sheep

Abstract We investigated the response of the fetal pituitary-adrenal axis to acute and chronic hypoglycemia before and after the normal prepartum activation of this axis at around 135 days gestation (term = 147 ± 3 days).
