The main goal of this study is to investigate the association of dietary salt intake during pregnancy with systemic micro- and macrovascular reactivity and uteroplacental vascular function of the mother, and to examine the potential impact of elevated oxidative stress on this association. Also, the aim is to investigate whether there is an association between excessive salt intake during pregnancy and the outcome of pregnancy.
