Risk Preferences and Prenatal Exposure to Sex Hormones for Ladinos
Risk preferences drive much of human decision making including investment, career and health choices and many more. Thus, understanding the determinants of risk preferences refines our understanding of choice in a broad array of environments. We assess the relationship between risk preferences, prenatal exposure to sex hormones and gender for a sample of Ladinos, which is an ethnic group compri...
متن کاملMaternal prenatal cortisol predicts infant negative emotionality in a sex-dependent manner
OBJECTIVE Prenatal stress influences fetal developmental trajectories, which may implicate glucocorticoid mechanisms. There is also emerging evidence that effects of prenatal stress on offspring development are sex-dependent. However, little is known about the prospective relationship between maternal prenatal cortisol levels and infant behaviour, and whether it may be different in male and fem...
متن کاملPrenatal maternal stress exposure and immune function in the offspring.
The intra-uterine environment provides the first regulatory connection for the developing fetus and shapes its physiological responses in preparation for postnatal life. Psychological stress acts as a programming determinant by setting functional parameters to abnormal levels, thus inducing postnatal maladaptation. The effects of prenatal maternal stress (PNMS) on the developing immune system h...
متن کاملDo prenatal sex hormones modulate MS risk?
The etiology of multiple sclerosis (MS) is complex, involving genetic and environmental risk factors and their interactions. Furthermore, evidence suggests that the timing of exposure to environmental factors may be important. The exploration of risk associated with exposures distant in time, e.g., in childhood, or even before birth, presents particular difficulties. For example, month of birth...
متن کاملPrenatal Maternal Stress and the Risk of Asthma in Children
Emerging evidence indicate that maternal prenatal stress (MPS) can result in a range of long-term adverse effects in the offspring. The underlying mechanism of MPS is not fully understood. However, its complexity is emphasized by the number of purportedly involved pathways namely, placental deregulated metabolism of maternal steroids, impaired maturation of fetal HPA axis, imbalanced efflux of ...
