Effect of prenatal low-protein diet on blood pressure in rats of various ages. Systolic blood pressure was measured by tail cuff in adult male (top) and female (bottom) rats whose mothers were fed a low-protein diet (6%) during the last half of pregnancy and compared with rats fed a normal protein diet (20%). There was a progressive increase of blood pressure with age in the low-protein group. Data are means ± SE; *P < 0.05; ***P < 0.001 [From Vehaskari et al. (137).]
