The aim of the present study was to determine whether the beneficial effect of oral supplementation with calcium and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) in the reduction of the incidence of pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) is related with changes in plasma levels of prostanoids, renin, angiotensin II, calciotropic hormones, and plasma and intracellular ionized free calcium.
