Differential expression of estradiol and estrogen receptor α in severe preeclamptic pregnancies compared with normal pregnancies.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the expression of estradiol and estrogen receptor α (ESRα) in severe preeclamptic (sPE) pregnancies compared with normal pregnancies. Sera and placentas were obtained from i) patients with sPE (n=25) and ii) a normal control group (n=25) who underwent elective Cesarean deliveries. Estradiol expression w...
