Funded Activity Summary

There have been no studies which have investigated the extent to which fetal substrate restriction and associated fetal growth restriction alter the expression of nerve growth factors which determine the extent of sympathetic innervation of the peripheral vasculature and the interaction of changes within the peripheral and coronary vasculature which may explain the association between fetal growth restriction and the emergence of cardiovascular disease and high blood pressure in later life. These studies ill provide new insights into the lifelong cardiovascular sequelae of a suboptimal intrauterine environment.
