Abstract
Prenatal DEX elicits an imbalance between EDHFs and EDCFs that might lead to renal programming and hypertension. The arachidonic acid metabolism pathway is a common pathway contributing to programmed hypertension. Our results highlight candidate genes and pathways involved in renal programming as targets for therapeutic approaches to prevent programmed hypertension in children exposed to antenatal corticosteroids.
