Plasma angiotensin I and serum placental leucine aminopeptidase (P-LAP) in pre-eclampsia. 1985

S Mizutani, and H Akiyama, and O Kurauchi, and H Taira, and O Narita, and Y Tomoda

A study was undertaken on serial measurements of plasma angiotensin I (A-I) and serum placental leucine aminopeptidase (P-LAP) activities in normal and pre-eclamptic pregnancy. There was the significant difference in A-I levels between normal and mild pre-eclamptic pregnancy at weeks 30, 35, 37, between normal and severe pre-eclamptic pregnancy at week 37. There were no differences in serum P-LAP between normal and mild pre-eclamptic pregnancy up to week 33, but thereafter the levels for the mild pre-eclampsia were significantly higher than for the normal pregnancy. The P-LAP activity for the severe pre-eclampsia reached its maximum level at week 31. Around this week, the levels for severe pre-eclampsia were significantly higher than in the normal pregnancy. After week 35, the activities decreased precipitously to week 40; the activities for severe pre-eclampsia in late pregnancy at weeks 39 and 40 were significantly lower than in normal pregnancy. The above data support the idea that P-LAP test is useful for prediction or diagnosis of pre-eclampsia.

D007931 Leucyl Aminopeptidase A zinc containing enzyme of the hydrolase class that catalyzes the removal of the N-terminal amino acid from most L-peptides, particularly those with N-terminal leucine residues but not those with N-terminal lysine or arginine residues. This occurs in tissue cell cytosol, with high activity in the duodenum, liver, and kidney. The activity of this enzyme is commonly assayed using a leucine arylamide chromogenic substrate such as leucyl beta-naphthylamide.

D010920 Placenta A highly vascularized mammalian fetal-maternal organ and major site of transport of oxygen, nutrients, and fetal waste products. It includes a fetal portion (CHORIONIC VILLI) derived from TROPHOBLASTS and a maternal portion (DECIDUA) derived from the uterine ENDOMETRIUM. The placenta produces an array of steroid, protein and peptide hormones (PLACENTAL HORMONES). Placentoma, Normal,Placentome,Placentas,Placentomes

D011225 Pre-Eclampsia A complication of PREGNANCY, characterized by a complex of symptoms including maternal HYPERTENSION and PROTEINURIA with or without pathological EDEMA. Symptoms may range between mild and severe. Pre-eclampsia usually occurs after the 20th week of gestation, but may develop before this time in the presence of trophoblastic disease.

D000803 Angiotensin I A decapeptide that is cleaved from precursor angiotensinogen by RENIN. Angiotensin I has limited biological activity. It is converted to angiotensin II, a potent vasoconstrictor, after the removal of two amino acids at the C-terminal by ANGIOTENSIN CONVERTING ENZYME.
