254 the Role of Renin-Angiotensin System in the Adrenals of Offspring After Exposure to Maternal Dietary Restriction During the Periconceptional Period
Abstract:Abstracts e77ventricle samples were collected from the lambs at d21 for the analysis of gene and protein expression.
ResultsThere was increased plasma renin activity and ANGII concentrations in LBW compared to ABW lambs. There was increased ACE2 mRNA and decreased abundance of ATR1 but no changes in abundance of ACE or ATR2 in LBW compared to ABW lambs. There was increased phospho-Akt protein and decreased capillary density in the heart of LBW lambs compared to ABW lambs. There was decreased collagen I and II … Show more
