Stress during gestation significantly increased estrous cycle length in female offspring as adults, primarily by lengthening the estrus-metestrus stage. Therefore, prenatal stress may disturb the hormonal milieu of the female fetus during a critical hypothalamic differentiation stage.
孕期应激显著增加成年雌性后代的发情周期长度,主要是通过延长发情后期至间情期阶段。因此,产前应激可能会在关键的下丘脑分化阶段扰乱雌性胎儿的激素环境。
