Enhanced Glucocorticoid Feedback Inhibition of Hypothalamo-Pituitary-Adrenal Responses to Stress in Adult Rats Neonatally Treated with Dexamethasone

We studied the long-term effect of neonatal treatment with the synthetic glucocorticoid dexamethasone (DEX) on stress responsivity later in life. It was found that the plasma adrenocorticotropin hormo
