Top plots. Significant positive association of maternal CESD depression rating and maternal C-Reactive Protein (CRP) at 16 weeks gestation for pregnancies with male fetuses β = 0.330, P = 0.006, but not with female fetuses. Bottom plots: The association of maternal CRP levels with newborn P50S2μV adjusted for P50S1μV was positive for male newborns β = 0.190, P = 0.046, and negative for female newborns β = −0.206, P = 0.020. The effects of CRP on P50S2μV were published previously (40).
