The concentrations of corticosterone and aldosterone in the plasma and adrenal glands of foetal, newborn and mother mice were estimated during the last 4 days of pregnancy and throughout the perinatal period. The level of corticosterone in the maternal and foetal plasma fell from day 17 of gestation until birth, and then remained stable. Whereas the corticosterone content of the maternal adrenal glands did not change significantly, that of the foetal adrenal glands reached a peak on day 19 of gestation. At every stage of gestation, the level of corticosterone in the maternal plasma was higher than that in the foetus. Changes in the concentration of aldosterone in the foetal plasma and adrenal glands were similar and characterized by peak values at birth. In the mother during the last 4 days of pregnancy, the level of aldosterone in the plasma was higher than in non-pregnant mice, but lower than that in the foetus.
