Fetal intravenous cortisol infusion increased glucocorticoid activating enzyme mRNA expression in the fetal lung. Normalized mRNA expression of 11β hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase isoform 1 (HSD11B-1, A) was increased with age and cortisol infusion. There was no change in normalized mRNA expression of the glucocorticoid deactivating enzyme (HSD11B-2, B), glucocorticoid receptor (NR3C1, C) or the mineralocorticoid receptor (NR3C2, D) with age or cortisol infusion. Data expressed as mean ± SEM. P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant; columns with different letters are significantly different from each other. 116-day saline-infused, open bars; 116-day cortisol-infused, black bars; 140-day saline-infused, gray bars.
