Evidence of augmented intrarenal angiotensinogen associated with glomerular swelling in gestational hypertension and pre-eclampsia: clinical implications (2019)
Journal Article
Mistry, H. D., Kurlak, L. O., Gardner, D. S., Torffvit, O., Hansen, A., Broughton Pipkin, F., & Strevens, H. (2019). Evidence of augmented intrarenal angiotensinogen associated with glomerular swelling in gestational hypertension and pre-eclampsia: clinical implications. Journal of the American Heart Association, 8(13), 1-11. https://doi.org/10.1161/JAHA.119.012611

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...

Placental expression of adenosine A2A receptor and hypoxia inducible factor-1 alpha in early pregnancy, term and pre-eclamptic pregnancies: interactions with placental renin-angiotensin system (2015)
Journal Article
Kurlak, L., Williams, P. J., Bulmer, J. N., Broughton Pipkin, F., & Mistry, H. D. (2015). Placental expression of adenosine A2A receptor and hypoxia inducible factor-1 alpha in early pregnancy, term and pre-eclamptic pregnancies: interactions with placental renin-angiotensin system. Placenta, 36(5), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.placenta.2015.02.011

Normal placentation occurs under low oxygen tensions yet hypoxia is also implicated in placental pathologies such as pre-eclampsia (PE). Hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs), adenosine and tissue renin-angiotensin-system (RAS) are known to promote angiog...
