MATERNAL MALNUTRITION AND COMPENSATORY EFFECTS ON LUNG DEVELOPMENT OF MALE RATS IN THE EARLY LIFE

An unfavorable intrauterine environment might lead to negative consequences for offspring health. Maternal malnutrition (MM) is one of these conditions that can impact renal function, leading to hypertension and cardiorespiratory diseases. The lungs are essential for systemic homeostasis.Although recent studies demonstrated that MM affects offspring lung development, the molecular mechanisms still need to be further explored.
