Prior studies suggest that fetal plasma cholesterol is regulated in part by the rate of uptake and utilization of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol by the fetal adrenals for use in steroid biosynthesis. Direct evidence for this phenomenon and the kinetics of this process is, however, virtually impossible to obtain in a controlled experiment in the developing human. In the current study we sought to take advantage of the anticipated transient inhibition of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis that occurs after antenatal therapy with glucocorticosteroids, to evaluate the temporal relationship between fetal adrenal steroids and plasma lipoprotein cholesterol levels in umbilical cord blood at delivery.
