Abstract
Cortisol has functions on homeostasis, growth, neurodevelopment, immune function and the stress response. Secretion follows a diurnal rhythm that mediates these processes. Our objective was to examine the association between prenatal lead exposure and infant diurnal cortisol rhythms. We measured infant cortisol rhythms in saliva collected repeatedly over 2 days at either 12 (n = 255) or 18–24 (n = 150) months of age. Prenatal lead exposure was...
