Ability to excrete Na+ in response to an acute Na+ load as percentage of the Na+ load in prenatally exposed sheep to vehicle (○, n = 11) or betamethasone (▪, n = 12) during saline (control) or ANG-(1–7) infusion (9 ng·min−1·kg body wt−1) followed by 60 min post-Na+ load period. There was an overall effect of betamethasone in males (*F = 5.6, P = 0.03). There was an effect of ANG-(1–7) in the females (#F = 8.4, P = 0.01) that was confined to the saline-treated animals.
