Zusammenfassung
The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia. Circulating and local RAS was investigated in preeclamptic (n=11) and uneventful pregnancies (n=10) at cesarean delivery. Maternal serum, subcutaneous adipose tissue, placental biopsies and decidual vacuum suction material was collected. Renin Activity and the presence of autoantibody against the AT1 Receptor (AT1R-AA) were measured. We also measured mRNA expression of Renin, Renin Receptor (ReRe), Angiotensinogen (Aogen), Angiotensin-Converting enzyme (ACE), AT1 Receptor and AT2 Receptor in decidua, placenta and adipose…
