May suggest chorionic renin regulates amnion PGE2 independently of angiotensin; leaves open human relevance.
Does renin increase prostaglandin E2 biosynthesis in human amnion cells?
Chorionic renin may have a novel role in regulating amnion cell PGE2 production that is independent of angiotensin formation.
Lundin‐Schiller et al. (1991) studied this question.
