    Salt intake during pregnancy alters offspring's myocardial structure
    (2013) ALVES-RODRIGUES, E. N.; VERAS, M. M.; ROSA, K. T.; CASTRO, I. de; FURUKAWA, L. N. S.; OLIVEIRA, I. B.; SOUZA, R. M.; HEIMANN, J. C.
    Background and Aim: To evaluate the effects of low or high salt intake during pregnancy on left ventricle of adult male offspring. Methods and results: Low-(LS, 0.15%), normal-(NS, 1.3%) or high-salt (HS, 8% NaCl) diet was given to Wistar rats during pregnancy. During lactation all dams received NS as well as the offspring after weaning. To evaluate cardiac response to salt overload, 50% of each offspring group was fed a high-salt (hs, 4% NaCl) diet from the 21st to the 36th week of age (LShs, NShs, HShs). The remaining 50% was maintained on NS (LSns, NSns and HSns). Echocardiography was done at 20 and 30 weeks of age. Mean blood pressure (MBP), histology and left ventricular angiotensin II content (AII) were analyzed at 36 weeks of age. Interventricular septum, left ventricular posterior wall and relative wall thickness increased from the 20th to the 30th week of age only in HShs, cardiomyocyte mean volume was higher in HShs compared to NShs, LShs and HSns. AII and left ventricular fibrosis were not different among groups. Conclusions: HS during pregnancy programs adult male offspring to a blood pressure and angiotensin II independent concentric left ventricular hypertrophy, with no fibrosis, in response to a chronic high-salt intake.

    Glucose metabolism and DNA methylation of offspring are altered by maternal sodium restriction
    (2013) SIQUEIRA, Flavia Ramos; PhuongSon Nguyen; KOBZIK, Lester; OLIVEIRA, Ivone Braga de; HEIMANN, Joel Claudio; FURUKAWA, Luzia Naoko Shinohara
    Objective: To evaluate glucose metabolism of adult offspring of dams fed low sodium diet during pregnancy. Methods: Female Wistar rats (n= 6 – 8/group) were fed low (LS- 0.15%) or normal (NS-1.3% NaCl) salt diet since the 1st day of gestation until delivery or LS during 1st (LS10) or 2 nd half of gestation (LS20). Body weight (BW), circulating glucose, insulin, leptin and C-peptide levels, glucose (GTT) and insulin tolerance test (ITT) and leptin receptor (LR) methylation were measured in male (M) and female (F) offspring at 12 weeks of age Results (mean±SEM, p< 0.05): BW, at birth (g, n=14 – 27/group) (M: NS = 6.5±0.1, LS = 5.5±0.1, LS10 = 6±0.1, LS20 = 4.8±0.1, F: NS = 6±0.2, LS = 5±0.1, LS10 = 6±0.1, LS20 = 4±0.1) was lower in LS, LS10 and LS20 than in NS, while at adulthood it was not different. Glucose was higher in LS (M=115±3; F=110±4) than in the other groups (M: NS=103±1; LS10=100±2; LS20=96±2; F:NS=101±2; LS10=100±2; 108±2). C-peptide was higher in LS (M=1117±152; F=509±27) than in NS (M=375±41; F=233±63) and lower in LS20 (M=97±15; F=76±9) compared to LS10 (M=528±112; F=378±45).Glucose was higher in LS M and F at 5 minutes of the GTT compared to NS offspring. Leptin, insulin, and ITT were not different. But LR methylation was increased in LS20. Conclusion: Sodium restriction during pregnancy leads to low birth weight and to modifications of glucose metabolism and LR methylation.
