Stress or administration of ACTH to pregnant mice gave rise to much higher plasma corticosterone levels in the second half of pregnancy than in the first half, suggesting that there may be increased adrenal sensitivity to ACTH or decreased metabolism of corticosterone during the second half of pregnancy.
对怀孕小鼠施加压力或注射促肾上腺皮质激素(ACTH)后,孕期后半段的血浆皮质酮水平比前半段高得多,这表明孕期后半段肾上腺对ACTH的敏感性可能增加,或者皮质酮的代谢可能减少。
