An essential role for angiotensin II Type 1a receptor in pregnancy‐associated hypertension with intrauterine growth retardation

Abstract excerpt

Little is known about an in vivo significance of angiotensin II Type-1 receptor (AT1) for pregnancy-associated diseases, including hypertension and intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR). We previously demonstrated that female mice carrying the human angiotensinogen gene (hAG+/+), when mated with human renin transgenic (hRN+/+) male mice, displayed hypertension in late pregnancy due to secretion of human renin...
