The perinatal period encompasses a critical window for neurodevelopment that renders the brain highly responsive to experience. Trauma, such as intimate partner violence (IPV) and early life stress/neglect, during this period negatively affects physical and mental health outcomes, including increasing ones risk for chronic pain. Although epigenetic programming likely contributes, the mechanisms that drive the relationship between perinatal trauma and adverse health outcomes, are not fully understood.

Autonomic dysfunction is associated with cardiovascular and neurological disease, including hypertension, heart failure, anxiety, and stress-related disorders. Prior studies demonstrated that late gestation exposure to dexamethasone (DEX) resulted in female-biased increases in stress-responsive mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR), suggesting a role for glucocorticoid-mediated programming of autonomic dysfunction. The present study investigated the influence of sympathetic (SYM) or parasympathetic (PS) blockade on cardiovascular function in male and female rat offspring of mothers injected with DEX (gestation days [GD]18-21).
