The present study was designed to ascertain sequentially the pressor response to
angiotensin II in young primigravid patients throughout pregnancy in order a) to define when�…

The purpose of this investigation was to study the determinants of the pressor response to
infused angiotensin II in normal pregnant women near term. In these subjects acute plasma�…

We measured circulating angiotension II by radioimmunoassay in women with pregnancy‐
induced hypertension (n= 54), and compared these values with those obtained in women�…

Ninety-three per cent of nulliparous, normotensive young women who subsequently
developed pregnancy-induced hypertension demonstrated an increase in diastolic blood�…

Normal pregnant women are resistant to the pressor effect of intravenously administered
angiotensin II (All), but women who are destined to develop hypertensive complications in�…

The importance of the renin-angiotensin system in the pathogenesis, of arterial hypertension
has directed attention to the possible role it may play in toxemic hypertension. Pressor�…

Pregnant women destined to develop pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) lose
refractorinessto the pressor effects of infused angiotensin II (AII) several weeks before the�…

Methods Ten normotensive nonpregnant women from the gynecologic wards were used for
comparison with seven normotensive pregnant women (30 to 40 weeks' gestation). All�…

Plasma renin concentration, renin activity and angiotensin II (AII) have been studied in 35
primigravidae at or near term immediately prior to surgical induction of labour. A highly�…

1. A radioimmunoassay for the measurement of angiotensin II in 1 ml of plasma has been
developed and used to measure angiotensin II in maternal peripheral, cord venous and cord�…
