Popis: Objective : To study a possible role of plasma endothelin in angiotensin-induced vasoconstriction. Study design : Plasma endothelin levels were measured before and after an angiotensin sensitivity test at 32 gestational weeks in 19 nulliparous women. Results : No significant change in plasma endothelin occured as a result of angiotensin infusion. Conclusion : The angiotensin-induced rise in diastolic blood pressure is not associated with changes in plasma endothelin
