Regional variation in angiotensin converting enzyme activity in the human placenta

Sensitivity of chorionic plate arteries to angiotensin II (AngII) is greatest at the placental periphery. Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) is central to the synthesis of AngII and is present in the placental vasculature. We measured vascular ACE activity/mg protein at 8-9 sites between the cord i...
