Chronic Prenatal Hypoxia Induces Epigenetic Programming of PKCε Gene Repression in Rat Hearts
11 Jun 2010
Abstract excerpt
RATIONALE: Epidemiological studies demonstrate a clear association of adverse intrauterine environment with an increased risk of ischemic heart disease in adulthood. Hypoxia is a common stress to the fetus and results in decreased protein kinase C epsilon (PKCepsilon) expression in the heart and increased cardiac vulnerability to ischemia and reperfusion injury in adult offspring in rats. OBJECTIVES: The present...
