Pregnancy is associated with significant cardiac adaptations. The regulatory mechanisms involved in functional cardiac adaptations during pregnancy are still largely unknown. In pathologic conditions, mineralocorticoids have been shown to mediate structural as well as functional remodelling of the heart. However, their role in cardiac physiological conditions is not completely understood. Here, we examined cardiac cell metabolic remodelling in the late stages of rat pregnancy, as well as mineralocorticoid involvement in this regulation.
