Fetal programming of pulmonary vascular dysfunction in mice: role of epigenetic mechanisms
2 May 2011
Abstract excerpt
Insults during the fetal period predispose the offspring to systemic cardiovascular disease, but little is known about the pulmonary circulation and the underlying mechanisms. Maternal undernutrition during pregnancy may represent a model to investigate underlying mechanisms, because it is associated with systemic vascular dysfunction in the offspring in animals and humans. In rats, restrictive diet during...
