Folate supplementation during pregnancy improves offspring cardiovascular dysfunction Induced by protein restriction (2006)

Torrens, Christopher, Brawley, Lee, Anthony, Frederick W., Dance, Caroline S., Dunn, Rebecca, Jackson, Alan A., ...

Dietary protein restriction in the rat compromises the maternal cardiovascular adaptations to pregnancy and leads to raised blood pressure and endothelial dysfunction in the offspring. In this study...

Dietary protein restriction in pregnancy induces hypertension and vascular defects in rat male offspring (2003)

Brawley, Lee, Itoh, Shigeru, Torrens, Christopher, Barker, Alison, Bertram, Caroline, Poston, Lucilla, ...

It is established that dietary protein restriction of pregnant rats results in their offspring developing hypertension. However, to date no studies have investigated peripheral vascular function of...

Maternal protein restriction in the rat impairs resistance artery but not conduit artery function in pregnant offspring (2003)

Torrens, Christopher, Brawley, Lee, Barker, Alison C., Itoh, Shigeru, Poston, Lucilla, Hanson, Mark A.

Dietary protein restriction during gestation has been shown to produce vascular dysfunction in pregnant rats and hypertension in their offspring. However, no studies have to date examined the effects...

Vasodilation to vascular endothelial growth factor in the uterine artery of the pregnant rat is blunted by low dietary protein intake (2002)

Itoh, Shigeru, Brawley, Lee, Wheeler, Timothy, Anthony, Frederick W., Poston, Lucilla, Hanson, Mark A.

Pregnancy is associated with a substantial increase in uterine artery blood flow, which may in part result from dilation in response to vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Uterine blood flow...
