Hippocampal corticosteroid receptors in rats, the mothers of which had either low (5–10 animals/group) or high (10–14 animals/group) corticosterone levels when submitted to stress during pregnancy. Type I corticosteroid receptors were lower in animals from mothers having high corticosterone levels (left panel). No differences were found in the Bmax of type II receptors (right panel) or in the affinities of either receptor type. Mean affinities were (in nm): type I = 1.71 ± 0.15; type II = 1.56 ± 0.30. ***p < 0.001. Error bars represent SEM.
