Effects of exercise on vascular remodelling and fetal growth in uncomplicated and abortion-prone mouse pregnancies by Evangeline A. K. Lovell, Shanna L. Hosking, Holly M. Groome, Lachlan M. Moldenhauer, Sarah A. Robertson, Kathryn L. Gatford, Alison S. Care

“…Abstract Studies in humans and rodents show exercise in pregnancy can modulate maternal blood pressure, vascular volume, and placental efficiency, but whether exercise affects early uteroplacental vascular adaptations is unknown. To investigate this, CBA/J female mice mated with BALB/c males to generate healthy uncomplicated pregnancies (BALB/c-mated) or mated with DBA/2J males to generate abortion-prone pregnancies (DBA/2J-mated), were subjected to treadmill exercise (5 days/week, 10 m/min, 30 min/day for 6 weeks before and throughout pregnancy), or remained sedentary. …”
