From: Prenatal dexamethasone and postnatal high-fat diet have a synergistic effect of elevating blood pressure through a distinct programming mechanism of systemic and adipose renin–angiotensin systems

Effects of prenatal DEX exposure (DEX), postnatal HF diet (VHF), and prenatal dexamethasone exposure plus postnatal (DHF) on plasma angiotensin related peptides. The plasma levels of (a) angiotensin I, (b) angiotensin II, (c) angiotensin-(1–7) of rats with indicated treatment at 6 months of age. N = 8–9/group. Two-way ANOVA was used to evaluate the effect of prenatal DEX exposure (Hit 1), postnatal HF diet (Hit 2), and their interaction (Hit 1 x Hit 2). Abbreviations: VEH, vehicle; DEX, prenatal DEX exposure; VHF, postnatal HF diet; DHF, prenatal dexamethasone exposure plus postnatal HF diet. ANG I, angiotensin I; ANG II, angiotensin II; ANG-(1–7), angiotensin-(1–7)
