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

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 angiogenesis and vascularisation. We hypothesised that...
