Mechanisms of Fetal Programming in Hypertension
Events that occur in the early fetal environment have been linked to long-term health and lifespan consequences in the adult. Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), which may occur as a result of nutrient insufficiency, exposure to hormones, or disruptions in placental structure or function, may induce the fetus to alter its developmental program in order to adapt to the new conditions. IUGR m...
متن کاملMechanisms of fetal programming of adult hypertension: role of sex hormones.
Epidemiological and experimental studies suggest that the in utero environment plays a critical role in the development of adult disease, including cardiovascular disease and hypertension. Intrauterine growth retardation produced by maternal undernutrition or exposure to maternal glucocorticoids during critical periods of organogenesis impairs fetal growth and produces offspring that develop hy...
متن کاملAdult hypertension and kidney disease: the role of fetal programming.
Hypertension (HTN) and chronic kidney disease are highly prevalent diseases that tend to occur more frequently among disadvantaged populations, in whom prenatal care also tends to be poor. More and more evidence is emerging highlighting the important role of fetal programming in the development of adult disease, suggesting a possible common pathophysiologic denominator in the development of the...

متن کاملFetal programming and epigenetic mechanisms in arterial hypertension.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW To provide an overview of available evidence of the potential role of epigenetics in the pathogenesis of hypertension and vascular dysfunction. RECENT FINDINGS Arterial hypertension is a highly heritable condition. Surprisingly, however, genetic variants only explain a tiny fraction of the phenotypic variation and the term 'missing heritability' has been coined to describe t...
