Hypertension may have a developmental origin, owing to the exposure to adverse factors during the intrauterine period. Our hypothesis is that sympathetic hyperinnervation may be implicated in hypertension of developmental origins, being this is a common feature with essential hypertension. Two-animal models were used: spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR-model of essential hypertension) and offspring from dams exposed to undernutrition (MUN-model of developmental hypertension), with their respective controls. In adult males, we assessed systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), heart rate (HR), sympathetic nerve function (3H-tritium release), sympathetic innervation (immunohistochemistry) and vascular remodelling (histology). MUN showed higher SBP\/DBP, but not HR, while SHR exhibited higher SBP\/DBP\/HR. Regarding the mesenteric arteries, MUN and SHR showed reduced lumen, increased media and adventitial thickness and increased wall\/lumen and connective tissue compared to respective controls. Regarding sympathetic nerve activation, MUN and SHR showed higher tritium release compared to controls. Total tritium tissue\/tyrosine hydroxylase detection was higher in SHR and MUN adventitia arteries compared to respective controls. In conclusion, sympathetic hyperinnervation may be one of the contributors to vascular remodelling and hypertension in rats exposed to undernutrition during intrauterine life, which is a common feature with spontaneous hypertension.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/biomedicines10081902","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,7]],"date-time":"2022-08-07T21:03:50Z","timestamp":1659906230000},"page":"1902","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Elevated Vascular Sympathetic Neurotransmission and Remodelling Is a Common Feature in a Rat Model of Foetal Programming of Hypertension and SHR"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Maria Sofia","family":"Vieira-Rocha","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Pharmacology, Department of Drug Science, Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Porto, 4050-313 Porto, Portugal"},{"name":"LAQV\/REQUIMTE, Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Porto, 4050-313 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Joana Beatriz","family":"Sousa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Pharmacology, Department of Drug Science, Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Porto, 4050-313 Porto, Portugal"},{"name":"LAQV\/REQUIMTE, Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Porto, 4050-313 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Pilar","family":"Rodr\u00edguez-Rodr\u00edguez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physiology, Faculty of Medicine, Universidad Autonoma de Madrid, 28029 Madrid, Spain"}]},{"given":"Silvia Madaglena","family":"Arribas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physiology, Faculty of Medicine, Universidad Autonoma de Madrid, 28029 Madrid, Spain"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4668-9360","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Carmen","family":"Diniz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Pharmacology, Department of Drug Science, Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Porto, 4050-313 Porto, Portugal"},{"name":"LAQV\/REQUIMTE, Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Porto, 4050-313 Porto, Portugal"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1068","DOI":"10.1111\/jch.14202","article-title":"Determinants of suboptimal blood pressure control in a multi-ethnic population: The Healthy Life in an Urban Setting (HELIUS) study","volume":"23","author":"Collard","year":"2021","journal-title":"J.
