Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: The objective of the study was to investigate the transgenerational effect of fetal vascular programming STUDY DESIGN: Homozygous NOS3 knockout and wild type controls (NOS3+/+WT) were cross-bred to obtain heterozygous offspring that developed in (KO-/-) mothers lacking a functional NOS3 (KOM) vs wild-type control mothers (KOP). The first-generation KOM(+/-) and KOP(+/-) female mice were then bred with...
