Introduction During pregnancy, maternal cortisol levels are increased 3-fold by the third trimester. The enzyme 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (11β-HSD, isoforms 1 and 2) regulates the balance between cortisol and cortisone levels.

Aim The aim of this work is to investigate a possible effect of early pregnancy PFAS exposure on late pregnancy activit
