Salivary Sex Steroid Levels in Infants and Their Relation with Infantile Colic

CONCLUSIONS: Random salivary sex steroid levels were similar among groups. However, only in subjects with infantile colic, salivary estradiol levels in females were positively correlated with BMI and salivary testosterone levels were higher later in the day among males. Thus, sex steroid production might be altered during minipuberty in subjects with infantile colic.PMID:38347685 | DOI:10.4274/jcrpe.galenos.2024.2023-11-2
