The placental renin-angiotensin system and oxidative stress in pre-eclampsia (2012)
Journal Article

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-e...

Maternal selenium, copper and zinc concentrations in pregnancy associated with small-for-gestational-age infants (2012)
Journal Article

Pregnancy during adolescence increases the risk of adverse pregnancy outcome, especially risk of small-for gestational-age (SGA) birth, which has been linked to micronutrient deficiencies. Likewise, smoking has been shown to be related with lower mic... Read More about Maternal selenium, copper and zinc concentrations in pregnancy associated with small-for-gestational-age infants.
