Intrauterine growth restriction in rats is associated with hypertension and renal dysfunction in adulthood

Epidemiological studies have produced evidence that unfavorable intrauterine environments during fetal life may lead to adverse outcomes in adulthood. A study aims to characterize rat pups born from a intrauterine growth restriction model and to point out possible implications of renin-angiotensin-a...

Description
Summary:Epidemiological studies have produced evidence that unfavorable intrauterine environments during fetal life may lead to adverse outcomes in adulthood. A study aims to characterize rat pups born from a intrauterine growth restriction model and to point out possible implications of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and renal function in development of higher blood pressure.
