  • Title: Effect of prenatal alcohol and cigarette exposure on two- and six-month-old infants' adrenocortical reactivity to stress.
    Author: Ramsay DS, Bendersky MI, Lewis M.
    Journal: J Pediatr Psychol; 1996 Dec; 21(6):833-40. PubMed ID: 8990727.
    Abstract:
    Examined the effect of prenatal alcohol and cigarette exposure on infant adrenocortical reactivity to stress at 2 and 6 months of age. Cortisol response (pre- to poststressor increase) at 2 months was lower for the exposed than nonexposed infants, whereas cortisol response at 6 months did not differ between the exposed and nonexposed infants. The 2-month group difference in cortisol response reflected a higher prestressor cortisol level in the exposed infants.
