BACKGROUNDWe previously reported that offspring heterozygous mice partially lacking endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) gene, and born to hypertensive eNOS(-/-) Knockout mother, are hypertensive. We hypothesized that those offspring when placed on high-fat diet (HFD) will undergo altered metabolic programming increasing their risk for developing metabolic syndrome.METHODSeNOS(-/-)KO and wild-type mice (eNOS(+/+)WT) were cross-bred to produce heterozygous offspring: maternal heterozygous (Mat, eNOS(-/+)), born from hypertensive eNOS(-/-) KO mothers; and paternal heterozygous (Pat, eNOS(-/+)), born from normotensive WT mothers. Mat, eNOS(-/+) and Pat, eNOS(-/+) female were allocated to HFD or control diet (CD) until 8 weeks of age. Then a metabolic profile was obtained: weight, glucose/insulin tolerance test (GTT, ITT), systolic blood pressure (SBP), serum fasting levels of insulin, adiponectin, leptin, and a lipid panel.RESULTSWeight was not different between all offspring within each diet. GTT curve was higher in Mat, eNOS(-/+) vs. Pat, eNOS(-/+) offspring on both diet (P < 0.001). In ITT, glucose level at 15 minutes was higher in Mat, eNOS(-/+) on HFD. Insulin level was increased in Mat, eNOS(-/+) vs. Pat, eNOS(-/+) on either diet. SBP was elevated in Mat, eNOS(-/+) vs. Pat, eNOS(-/+) on CD and was further raised in Mat, eNOS(-/+) offspring on HFD (P < 0.001). No other differences were seen except for lower high-density lipoprotein levels in Mat, eNOS(-/+) fed HFD (P < 0.003).CONCLUSIONSMat, eNOS(-/+) offspring exposed in utero to maternal hypertension and fed HFD postnatally have increased susceptibility for metabolic abnormalities. Thus, maternal HTN is a risk factor for altered fetal metabolic programming.
