Maternal Angiotensin II–Induced Hypertension Sensitizes Postweaning High‐Fat Diet–Elicited Hypertensive Response Through Increased Brain Reactivity in Rat Offspring
Background Prenatal and postnatal insults can induce a physiological state that leaves offspring later in life vulnerable to subsequent challenges (stressors) eliciting cardiometabolic diseases including hypertension. In this study, we investigated whether maternal angiotensin II–induced hypertensio...
