Research Abstract

In infants with very low birth weight, the plasma angiotensin II levels gradually increased and reached a peak on day 21 thereafter decreased. Chronic lung disease was confirmed to be the most significant factor associated with the plasma angiotensin II levels on days 21 and 35. The plasma VEGF levels also increased gradually. In infants with chronic lung disease, the plasma VEGF levels tend to be higher than those in infants without chronic lung disease, but the difference was not statistically significant.
