Vascular Response to Graded Angiotensin II Infusion in Offspring Subjected to High-Salt Drinking Water during Pregnancy: The Effect of Blood Pressure, Heart Rate, Urine Output, Endothelial Permeability, and Gender

Table 2

Basal values of MAP, HR, serum nitrite, Na⁺, and aorta permeability in male and female offspring (adult). Groups 1 and 2: male (group 1) and female (group 2) offspring from mothers who received tap water during pregnancy. Groups 3 and 4: male (group 3) and female (group 4) offspring from mothers who received high-salt water during pregnancy.
