“…In humans, previous work suggests a reduced responsivity of the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, a major neuroendocrine stress pathway, to acute stimulation as pregnancy advances (Kammerer, Adams, Castelberg Bv, & Glover, 2002;Owens et al, 1987;Schulte, Weisner, & Allolio, 1990). A similar pattern has been reported for cardiovascular (Barron, Mujais, Zinaman, Bravo, & Lindheimer, 1986;Matthews & Rodin, 1992;Nisell, Hjemdahl, Linde, & Lunell, 1985b), sympathoadrenal (Barron et al;Nisell, Hjemdahl, Linde, & Lunell, 1985a;Whittaker, Gerrard, & Lind, 1985), and affective responses (Glynn, Wadhwa, Dunkel-Schetter, Chicz-Demet, & Sandman, 2001).…”

“…For example, ACTH but not plasma cortisol responses to stimulation with 1 mg/kg oCRH were clearly blunted at 3 and 6 weeks after the end of pregnancy and still slightly reduced at 12 weeks postpartum (Magiakou et al, 1996). In contrast, parity was reported to have an influence on dexamethasone-suppressed plasma cortisol levels until about the third postnatal week, while this insensitivity to feedback inhibition was absent by the fifth week postpartum (Owens et al, 1987). Finally, a lack of significant salivary cortisol responses to a cold pressor test was observed at 8 weeks postpartum (Kammerer et al, 2002).…”

“…An enhanced glucocorticoid feedback especially at hippocampal, but also hypothalamic, brain areas would negatively control CRHÏvasopressin neurons and, thus, attenuate ACTH secretion. With respect to glucocorticoid feedback control during pregnancy, various species-dependent results have been published with unchanged (Keller-Wood, 1996) or reduced feedback sensitivity (Owens et al 1987). Changes in glucocorticoid receptor binding capacity within the hippocampus as observed in lactation (Meaney, Viau, Aitken & Bhatnagar, 1989) are being studied in our laboratories also during pregnancy (Johnstone et al 1997).…”

“…Following delivery of the placenta, there is a sharp drop in placental CRH levels. The HPA axis is relatively hyporesponsive with lack of cortisol suppression to dexamethasone for up to 3 weeks postpartum [60] and dynamic tests showing recovery of CRH secretion by 12 weeks postpartum [61] . ACTH levels also fall transiently immediately after delivery, rising again 3-4 days postpartum [62] .…”
