abstract：:An interaction between heparin and circulating pregnancy-associated plasma protein A (PAPP-A) has been observed. This interaction could be reversed by the addition of the specific heparin antagonist protamine sulphate.

abstract：INTRODUCTION:In the placenta, the (pro)renin receptor (ATP6AP2) is localised to the syncytiotrophoblast. ATP6AP2 can activate the placental renin-angiotensin system (RAS), producing Angiotensin II (Ang II) which, acting via the angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AGTR1), is important for placental development and function....
