Key Points

Investigate how maternal stress affects placental iron transport and its implications for foetal programming and mental health.
Analyzed placental samples to assess iron transport mechanisms
Studied the relationship between maternal stress and foetal outcomes
Utilized biomarkers related to mental health for evaluation
Identified significant alterations in iron transport during maternal stress
Established connections between iron transport and mental health outcomes in offspring
Observed that stress impacts foetal development via altered placental functions
