1 Effect of hypertonic saline on vascular responses to angiotensin II in pregnancy. Sodium Chloride angiotensinogen Homo sapiens
2 In this study, we sought to ascertain in gravid sheep whether hypertonic saline solution alters the vascular responses to angiotensin II, as in gravid women, and to compare the responses of the systemic and uteroplacental vasculature. Sodium Chloride angiotensinogen Homo sapiens
3 Treatment with hypertonic saline solution results in increased pressor responses to angiotensin II that are not a reflection of altered baroreceptor or chemoreceptor reflexes or of the response in the uteroplacental vascular bed. Sodium Chloride angiotensinogen Homo sapiens
4 Rather, the increased systemic vascular responsiveness to angiotensin II after hypertonic saline solution appears to be a reflection of other mechanisms, such as alterations in vessel wall dynamics or receptor affinity. Sodium Chloride angiotensinogen Homo sapiens
