Placental glucocorticoid receptor activity. Activity of the glucocorticoid receptor measured in placental nuclear isolates by DNA binding capacity. (A) Glucocorticoid receptor activity in the three groups of women (Healthy control, Depressive symptoms, and SSRI treatment). n = 14–17/group; p > 0.05, Kruskal–Wallis. (B) Foetal sex and placental glucocorticoid receptor activation. n = 6–10/group, p > 0.05, Kruskal–Wallis. Data in graphs are presented as median, interquartile range, and 95% confidence interval.
