Even nowadays, pregnancy is considered a risky episode in a woman's life. Among the main diseases affecting pregnant women is preeclampsia, characterized by hypertension and proteinuria, developed as a result of pregnancy. Preeclampsia kills 70,000 women a year worldwide. Premature termination of pregnancy is the main medical solution adopted, resulting in the birth of premature and/or intrauterine growth retardant (IUGR) babies, sometimes so early that one million children die as a result of preeclampsia developed by the mother. Finally, these pathologies induce long-term consequences (cardiovascular risk, renal dysfunction, etc. in the mother and child). This is the principle of DOHAD – Developmental Origin of Health And Disease.
