Maternal water restriction (WR) may induce offspring plasma hypertonicity and enhanced vasopressin secretory responses. We determined effects of pregnancy WR on offspring body composition, renal morphology, and blood pressure.
Pregnant Sprague Dawley rats (n = 21) were randomized to WR, pair-fed (PF), and control from embryo day (e) 10 to e21. Offspring body and organ weights and glomerular number and size were measured at birth and at 21 days of age. At 6 and 9 weeks, offspring blood pressure was determined.
At 21 days of age, WR offspring glomerular number was increased (17%; P < .05), whereas PF glomerular number was lower (4%), compared with controls. Systolic blood pressures were elevated in both WR and PF at both 6 and 9 weeks.
Pregnancy WR stimulates offspring nephrogenesis, suggesting an adaptive response to future dehydration. Programmed hypertension in WR and PF groups likely occurs via different mechanisms.
母体限水(WR)可能会导致子代血浆高渗并增强血管加压素分泌反应。我们确定了孕期限水对子代身体组成、肾脏形态和血压的影响。
将怀孕的斯普拉格-道利大鼠(n = 21)从胚胎第10天(e10)至第21天(e21)随机分为限水组、配对喂养组(PF)和对照组。在出生时和21日龄时测量子代的体重、器官重量以及肾小球数量和大小。在6周和9周时测定子代血压。
在21日龄时,与对照组相比,限水组子代的肾小球数量增加(17%;P < 0.05),而配对喂养组的肾小球数量减少(4%)。在6周和9周时,限水组和配对喂养组的收缩压均升高。
孕期限水会刺激子代肾发生,提示这是对未来脱水的一种适应性反应。限水组和配对喂养组的程序性高血压可能通过不同机制发生。
