Estrogen Deprivation During Primate ( <scp> <i>Papio anubis</i> </scp> ) Pregnancy: Impact on Systemic Microvascular Flow and Cardiovascular Development and Function After Birth in Offspring

BACKGROUND: deprivation also impairs microvascular flow and cardiac function. METHODS: (maternal s.c. injections during the second half of gestation) underwent contrast-enhanced microbubble ultrasonography to quantify microvessel flow and echocardiography to assess cardiac performance. RESULTS: . Indices of systolic (isovolumic contraction), diastolic (isovolumic relaxation), global performance (Tei index), and cardiac output were unchanged. CONCLUSION: 's role in optimizing postnatal perfusion and metabolic health.
