Fetal growth restriction (FGR) is a pregnancy complication wherein the fetus fails to reach its
growth potential. The renin–angiotensin system (RAS) is a critical regulator of placental …

Background The placenta is an essential organ that provides nutrients and oxygen to the
developing fetus and removes toxic waste products from the fetal circulation. Maintaining …

Whether gestational protein restriction affects the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) in uterine
artery remains unknown. In this study, we hypothesized that gestational protein restriction …

The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) is thought to regulate placentation, however, the
expression and localization of RAS pathways in early gestation human placenta is not …

OBJECTIVES: The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) is implicated in placentation. We
determined which RAS pathways are present in two trophoblast cell lines (HTR-8/SVneo …

Evidence has accumulated for the existence of local tissue renin-angiotensin systems in the
reproductive tissues. In the ovary the local renin-angiotensin system (RAS) has been shown …

Background The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) is present in human placental tissue and
participates in regulation of maternal-fetal blood flow during pregnancy. RAS expression in …

The components of the renin–angiotensin system (RAS) are expressed in the uteroplacental
unit. The expression varies between species, probably due to the marked species …

Both the systemic and the uteroplacental renin-angiotensin system (RAS) display dramatic
changes during pregnancy. However, whether gestational protein insufficiency affects the …

The renin-angiotensin (Ang) system is important during placental development.
Dysregulation of the renin-Ang system is important in preeclampsia (PE). Female rats …
