Abstract excerpt
Perinatal growth restriction (PGR) is associated with type 2 diabetes and hypertension. Identification of an isogenic mouse model of fetal programming will facilitate mechanistic understanding. We sought to test the hypotheses that 1) PGR impairs glucose tolerance and induces hypertension; and 2) the programming phenotype is more severe in an inbred mouse strain susceptible to diabetes (C57BL/6) than in a strain...
