Journal ArticleDOI

Localization of relaxin receptors in arteries and veins, and region-specific increases in compliance and bradykinin-mediated relaxation after in vivo serelaxin treatment

TL;DR: There is differential distribution of RXFP1 on endothelial and smooth muscle across the vasculature, and region‐specific increases in compliance and bradykinin‐mediated relaxation after in vivo serelaxin treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Periconceptional alcohol consumption causes fetal growth restriction and increases glycogen accumulation in the late gestation rat placenta

TL;DR: Observations are consistent with a stress response, apparent well beyond the period of EtOH-exposure and demonstrate that PC EtOH alters placental development in a sex specific manner.
Journal ArticleDOI

Uteroplacental insufficiency programs regional vascular dysfunction and alters arterial stiffness in female offspring.

TL;DR: The preserved vascular function in other arteries may explain the lack of hypertension in these females, and the uterine artery specific dysfunction has potential implications for impaired pregnancy adaptations and a compromised intrauterine environment of the next generation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Why do membranes rupture at term? Evidence of increased cellular apoptosis in the supracervical fetal membranes.

TL;DR: There is evidence of increased cellular apoptosis at the supracervical site in fetal membranes at term, suggesting that the intrinsic apoptotic pathway plays an important role in spontaneous membrane rupture at term.
