Abstract: BackgroundMaternal thyroid deficiency can increase Rho-kinase procontractile influence in arteries of 2-week-old progeny. Here we hypothesized that augmented role of Rho-kinase persists in arteries from adult progeny of hypothyroid rats.MethodsDams were treated with 6-propyl-2-thiouracil (PTU)… read more here.
