Effects of AT1R antagonist on blood pressure, sympathetic vasomotor activity, ROS level and expressions of AT1R, gp91phox or SOD2 protein in RVLM of young offspring exposed to maternal HFD or ND. a tissue ROS level; b SBP; c sympathetic vasomotor activity; and representative gels and densitometric analysis of results from Western blot showing changes in protein expression of (d) AT1R, (e) gp91phox, or (f) SOD2 in RVLM of ND or HFD offspring, alone or with additional treatment with an AT1R antagonist, losartan (3 μg·μL− 1·h− 1), microinfused via a minipump into the cistern magna at age of 8 weeks for 4 weeks. Analysis was performed on tissues collected bilaterally from individual RVLM at age of 12 weeks. Data on protein expression were normalized to the average ND control value, which is set to 1.0, and are presented as mean ± SEM (n = 6 in all groups). *P < 0.05 versus ND group and #P < 0.05 versus HFD group in post hoc Newman-Keuls multiple-range test
