Selectins [endothelial (E), platelet (P), and leucocytes (L)] are a class of cell adhesion molecules, stimulated in response to inflammation. Pre-eclampsia is characterized by inflammation, and angiotensin II is pro-inflammatory. We hypothesized that...

Background-—AGT (angiotensinogen) synthesis occurs in renal proximal tubular epithelial cells, independent from systemic AGT, as a component of the intrarenal renin–angiotensin system. We investigated urinary AGT, as a biomarker for renin–angiotensin...

Increased maternal and fetal cholesterol efflux capacity and placental cyp27a1 expression in pre-eclampsia (2017)
Journal Article

Preeclampsia is a pregnancy-specific condition that leads to increased cardiovascular risk in later life. A decrease in cholesterol efflux capacity is linked to CVD. We hypothesized that in preeclampsia there would be a disruption of maternal/fetal p...

Human placental renin–angiotensin system in normotensive and pre-eclamptic pregnancies at high altitude and after acute hypoxia–reoxygenation insult (2016)

Journal of Physiology, 594(5), 1327-1340. https://doi.org/10.1113/JP271045

A functioning placental renin–angiotensin system (RAS) appears necessary for uncomplicated pregnancy and is present during placentation, which occurs under low oxygen tensions. Placental RAS is increased in pre-eclampsia (PE), characterised by placen...
