Maternal effects on blood pressure response to high salt diet were evaluated using inbred Dahl salt-sensitive (S/JR) and inbred Dahl salt-resistant (R/JR) rats. A cross-fostering experiment did not yield any evidence for a consistent effect of strain-specific fostering environments on the subsequent blood pressure response of S/JR or R/JR rats. A small increment in blood pressure seen only in m...
