['Higher blood pressure and albuminuria are found in offspring of mothers who smoke during pregnancy. Whether or not kidney development is affected by maternal smoking is unknown.', 'Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly allocated to twice-daily cigarette smoke and nicotine condensate (1 mg/kg) or vehicle at day 10 of pregnancy until delivery.', 'Exposed offspring did not differ from control offspring with respect to body weight, kidney weight, albuminuria, and creatinine clearance. Both male and female offspring had higher tail-plethysmographic blood pressures and lower mean glomerular volume, podocyte, mesangial-cell, and endothelial-cell number, compared to control offspring.'] Does exposure of pregnant rats to cigarette-smoke condensate cause glomerular abnormalities in offspring?
