Prenatal Corticosterone Exposure Reprograms Brain Cell Mitochondria, Prioritizing Membrane Potential Over Energy Production
Prenatal exposure to corticosterone alters how brain cell mitochondria function, shifting their focus from producing energy (ATP) to maintaining membrane potential. This metabolic reprogramming leads to inefficient energy production and may contribute to delayed neuronal development and neurodevelopmental disorders like ADHD.
