A comparison of angiotensinase and placental leucine aminopeptidase during normal pregnancy

1. Serum leucine aminopeptidase activity measured by its action on hydrolysis of L-leucyl- β-naphthylamide was increased progressively as pregnancy advanced. Angiotensinase activity determined by bioassay showed parallel increase during normal pregnancy. 2. The effects of heat treatment and L-methio...

Zusammenfassung:	1. Serum leucine aminopeptidase activity measured by its action on hydrolysis of L-leucyl- β-naphthylamide was increased progressively as pregnancy advanced. Angiotensinase activity determined by bioassay showed parallel increase during normal pregnancy. 2. The effects of heat treatment and L-methionine on the activity of angiotensinase were compared with those on leucine aminopeptidase activity in pregnancy serum.
