Background: Maternal nutrient restriction (MNR) is a widespread cause of fetal growth restriction (FGR), an independent predictor of heart disease and cardiovascular mortality. Our objective was to examine the developmental and long-term impact of MNR-induced FGR on cardiac structure in a model that closely mimics human development.
Methods: A reduction in total caloric intake spanning pregestation through to lactation in guinea pig sows was used to induce FGR.
