Levels of maternal serum corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) at midpregnancy in relation to maternal characteristics
Revisiting the placental clock: Early corticotrophin-releasing hormone rise in recurrent preterm birth
TLDR
In women with a prior preterm birth, CRH levels were higher and had an earlier rise in women who experienced recurrent pre term birth, and second trimester CRH may be useful in identifying a sub-group of women with pretermBirth due to early activation of the placenta-fetal adrenal axis.
Non-stress-related factors associated with maternal corticotrophin-releasing hormone (CRH) concentration.
During pregnancy, most maternal corticotrophin-releasing hormone (CRH) is secreted by the placenta, not the hypothalamus. Second trimester maternal CRH concentration is robustly associated with the…
Plasma CRH measurement at 16 to 20 weeks' gestation does not predict preterm delivery in women at high-risk for preterm delivery.
Pregnancy anxiety predicts shorter gestation in Latina and non-Latina white women: The role of placental corticotrophin-releasing hormone
Corticotrophin-Releasing Hormone in Lipopolysaccharide-Stimulated Term Fetal Membranes and Amniotic Fluid From Term and Preterm Birth in African Americans and Caucasians
TLDR
In fetal membranes, African Americans showed a higher expression and production of CRH in response to an in vitro stimulus, and AF analysis did not document racial disparity in CRH concentrations in PTB.
Cumulative stress and maternal prenatal corticotropin-releasing hormone in an urban U.S. cohort
COMPARISON OF UMBILICAL CORD AND MATERNAL SERUM LEVELS OF IGF-1, LEPTIN AND CORTISOL IN APPROPRIATE FOR GESTATIONAL AGE AND SMALL FOR GESTATIONAL AGE NEONATES
TLDR
Low IGF- 1 and leptin concentrations in cord blood and low maternal serum concentration of IGF-1 and cortisol are associated with growth retardation in SGA as compared to AGA neonates and also maternal cortisol level plays an important role in intrauterine brain development of SGA neonates.
Bioassay Research Methodology: Measuring CRH in Pregnancy
TLDR
The reliability of CRH measurements can be significantly improved by identifying and controlling for variables encountered during sample collection, processing, storage, and bioassay.
Depression During Pregnancy and Adverse Birth Outcomes Among Predominantly Puerto Rican Women
TLDR
It is found that in this population of predominantly Puerto Rican women, mid-pregnancy depression increased risk for SGA, and culturally appropriate, targeted interventions to identify and treat pregnant women with depression are needed.

TLDR
Elevated CRH concentrations and bioavailability of free cortisol may both be implicated in the pathogenesis of preterm labor in some women.

TLDR
There was, therefore, no correlation between plasma cortisol and CRH, implying that this placental CRH is not primarily involved in the control of the maternal hypothalamo-pituitary adrenal axis during pregnancy.
Corticotrophin‐releasing Hormone and CRH‐binding Protein: Differences between Patients at Risk for Preterm Birth and Hypertension
TLDR
Those patients at risk for PTB have significantly elevated CRH, lower CRH‐BP, and a reduced CRH/CRH dimer complex index at all three time periods of assessment, suggesting excessive CRH.
