| Abstract: | Cross-fostering spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR) pups to Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) normotensive mothers influenced physical development, resting mean arterial pressure and heart rate, open-field behavior, and sympathetic-adrenal medullary responses to stressors. In contrast, cross-fostering WKY pups to SHR mothers at birth did not affect these developmental processes. |
