Cardiovascular and Growth Outcomes of C57Bl/6J Mice Offspring Exposed to Maternal Stress and Ionizing Radiation During Pregnancy.

CONCLUSIONS: Overall, there were minimal effects on cardiovascular measures or offspring weight due to irradiation except at 1000 mGy. The presence of maternal stress, a known trigger of developmental programming, may have confounded any potential irradiation effects. PMID: 30831046 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
