Abstract
Results suggest sex specific responses to maternal GCs within the placenta. Decreased levels of MAPK protein in placentas of female fetuses suggest alterations in the MAPK pathway may contribute to the lower placental weights in this sex. This may contribute towards sex specific fetal programming of adult disease.
