Developmental Programming and Reprogramming of Hypertension and Kidney Disease: Impact of Tryptophan Metabolism
18 Nov 2020
Abstract excerpt
The concept that hypertension and chronic kidney disease (CKD) originate in early life has emerged recently. During pregnancy, tryptophan is crucial for maternal protein synthesis and fetal development. On one hand, impaired tryptophan metabolic pathway in pregnancy impacts fetal programming, resulting in the developmental programming of hypertension and kidney disease in adult offspring. On the other hand,...
