Abstract

Preeclampsia is a hypertensive disorder of pregnancy known to increase the risk of cardiovascular disease in both mothers and offspring later in life. Offspring exposed to a suboptimal intrauterine environment during critical periods of growth may experience altered fetal programming and subsequent long term cardiovascular changes. The aim of this study was to investigate changes in vascular response in offspring from experimental preeclamptic (EPE) compared to normotensive baboon pregnancies (controls), following a high salt diet challenge.
