Preexisting chronic hypertension complicates up to 5% of pregnancies and is associated with an increased risk of low-birth-weight babies. Studies suggest that an adverse intrauterine environment leading to low birth weight is linked to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, including hypertension, in the adult. In this study, the blood pressure of offspring from mothers with hypertension were followed up into adulthood. Two-kidney, 1-wrapped hypertension was induced in 7 female rabbits; 5 other rabbits underwent sham surgery. Four weeks later, rabbits were mated, at which time mean arterial pressure was 118+/-3 and 87+/-5 mm Hg in the hypertensive and sham groups, respectively (P
