losartan and Birth Weight

losartan has been researched along with Birth Weight in 2 studies

Losartan: An antagonist of ANGIOTENSIN TYPE 1 RECEPTOR with antihypertensive activity due to the reduced pressor effect of ANGIOTENSIN II.
losartan : A biphenylyltetrazole where a 1,1'-biphenyl group is attached at the 5-position and has an additional trisubstituted imidazol-1-ylmethyl group at the 4'-position

Birth Weight: The mass or quantity of heaviness of an individual at BIRTH. It is expressed by units of pounds or kilograms.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"We found: (1) comparable birth weights in control and PD123319-treated animals, but reduced body weight in newborn losartan-treated animals; (2) compared to untreated animals, type I collagen and TGF-beta 1 mRNA expression in cardiac tissue were each equally reduced in both losartan and PD123319-treated animals; (3) increased type III collagen mRNA expression in both PD123319- and losartan-treated groups; and (4) a significant decrease in total soluble cardiac collagen concentration in both losartan and PD123319-treated groups, confirmed by attenuated immunoreactivity of type I and III collagens in whole heart extracts by Western blotting."3.70Angiotensin II receptor blockade during gestation attenuates collagen formation in the developing rat heart. ( Lamparter, S; Sun, Y; Weber, KT, 1999)
"Losartan treatment for three weeks lowered systolic blood pressure in both Control and Restricted groups but this difference was not sustained after the cessation of treatment."1.48Angiotensin receptor blockade in juvenile male rat offspring: Implications for long-term cardio-renal health. ( Gallo, LA; Mazzuca, MQ; Moritz, KM; Parkington, HC; Tare, M; Walton, SL; Wlodek, ME, 2018)
