Does in utero undernutrition in rats induce increased vascular smooth muscle content in the offspring?
These results demonstrate that the vascular smooth muscle is altered in food-restriction offspring and that this may be a mechanism for the programming of offspring hypertension.
AA genotype of BCL-2 (-938C > A) is associated with susceptibility of breast cancer, and this genotype is only associated with the nodal status and pathological diagnosis of breast cancer. The polymorphism has an effect on Bcl-2 expression but needs further investigation.
