Temporal relationships between hormonal and hemodynamic changes in early human pregnancy.

TLDR
Peripheral vasodilation occurs early in pregnancy prior to full placentation in association with renal vasodilated and activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, suggesting that ANP increases in response to changes in intravasular volume.

Induction of calcium-dependent nitric oxide synthases by sex hormones

TL;DR: Both eNOS and nNOS are subject to regulation by estrogen, an action that could explain some of the changes that occur during pregnancy and some gender differences in physiology and pathophysiology.

Serial study of factors influencing changes in cardiac output during human pregnancy

TL;DR: Serial hemodynamic measurements were performed in 13 women on two occasions before conception and then at monthly intervals throughout pregnancy to identify changes associated with a progressive increase in valve orifice area and left ventricular wall thickness during pregnancy.

A simplified radiometric assay for plasma norepinephrine and epinephrine.

TL;DR: The plasma norepinephrine and epinephrine assay, when compared to currently available methods, provides a substantial decrease in the assay time while providing a 10-fold increase in sensitivity which allows the analysis to be performed on 0.75 ml or less of plasma.
