The placental renin–angiotensin system and oxidative stress in pre-eclampsia

There is an inverse correlation between human birthweight and umbilical venous angiotensin II (AngII) concentrations. Oxidative stress and increased pro-renin receptor (PRR) both enhance the cleavage of angiotensin I from angiotensinogen (AGT). Pre-eclampsia, a hypertensive disorder of pregnancy, ma...
