BackgroundFructose intake has been correlated with increased prevalence of metabolic disorders including hypertension. In pregnant rats, fructose intake has been reported to have adverse effects on the health of its offspring. This study investigated the effects of gestational maternal fructose consumption and if supplementation with melinjo seed extracts to the maternal diet during lactation could benefit the offspring in later life.MethodsPregnant rats were randomly divided into three groups: untreated (CC), fructose‐treated (FC), and fructose and melinjo‐treated (FM). FC and FM groups received 100 g/L of D(‐)‐fructose solution by means of the drinking water during gestation while CC received normal drinking water. During lactation, CC and FC groups were given standard commercial laboratory diet, while the FM group was given commercial laboratory diet with 0.1% melinjo seed extracts. After weaning, the offspring were given normal drinking water and standard commercial diet until week 17. The blood pressure of the offspring was monitored until the 16th week. During week 17, the offspring were killed, and the kidneys were collected and analyzed.ResultsThe level of renal phosphorylated AMP‐activated protein kinase (pAMPK) in FM of 17‐week female offspring was significantly higher compared with FC and CC groups. Maternal fructose intake down‐regulated the renal endothelial isoform of nitric oxide synthetase expression in FC and maternal melinjo seed extract consumption maintained renal endothelial isoform of nitric oxide synthetase expression in FM of 17‐week female offspring. In addition, maternal melinjo seed extract intake during lactation lowered the systolic blood pressure in FM of 17‐week female offspring.ConclusionFemale offspring were more vulnerable to the effects of placental fructose and melinjo seed extracts, suggesting sex‐specific sensitivities. In summary, our data show that melinjo seed extract consumption during lactation improved vasodilation and attenuated the development of hypertension in the 17‐week female offspring of fructose‐fed pregnant rats.
