چکیده
and remits dramatically after the placenta has been delivered. Despite extensive research, the pathophysiology of this condition remains unclear. Accumulating evidence, however, indicates that failure of the cytotrophoblast invasion of maternal uterine spiral arteries plays a central role. 4) Consequently, reduction of utero placental blood perfusion by shallow implantation results in local placental hypoxia.

Midtrimester maternal plasma concentrations of angiopoietin 1, angiopoietin 2, and placental growth factor in pregnant women who subsequently develop preeclampsia
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to compare midtrimester maternal plasma concentrations of angiopoietin 1, angiopoietin 2, and placental growth factor between pregnant women who subsequently developed preeclampsia and those who did not. METHODS Midtrimester maternal plasma was collected and stored at -70℃ when genetic amniocentesis was performed. Cases included 37 samples of individual who...
متن کاملLow placental growth factor across pregnancy identifies a subset of women with preterm preeclampsia: type 1 versus type 2 preeclampsia?
Preeclampsia is a heterogeneous syndrome affecting 3% to 5% of all pregnancies. An imbalance of the antiangiogenic and proangiogenic factors, soluble receptor fms-like tyrosine kinase 1 and placental growth factor (PGF), is thought to contribute to the pathophysiology of preeclampsia. Maternal plasma PGF and soluble receptor fms-like tyrosine kinase 1 were quantified by specific immunoassays in...
متن کاملDifferential expression of microRNA-206 and its target genes in preeclampsia
OBJECTIVES Preeclampsia is a multisystem disease that significantly contributes to maternal and foetal morbidity and mortality. In this study, we used a nonbiased microarray approach to identify novel circulating miRNAs in maternal plasma that may be associated with preeclampsia. METHODS Plasma samples were obtained at 16 and 28 weeks of gestation from 18 women who later developed preeclampsi...
متن کاملIncreased sFlt-1 to PlGF Ratio in Women Who Subsequently Develop Preeclampsia
The purpose of this study was to determine whether the levels of soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 (sFlt-1) and placenta growth factor (PlGF) are altered during the second trimester in the plasma of women who subsequently develop preeclampsia. We performed a case-control study to compare the levels of sFlt-1 and PlGF in the preeclamptic (n=46) and normal pregnant women (n=100). The maternal pl...
متن کاملAssociation between maternal micronutrient status, oxidative stress, and common genetic variants in antioxidant enzymes at 15 weeks' gestation in nulliparous women who subsequently develop preeclampsia. Free Radical Biology and Medicine
Preeclampsia is a pregnancy-specific condition affecting 2–7% of women and a leading cause of perinatal and maternal morbidity and mortality. Deficiencies of specific micronutrient antioxidant activities associated with copper, selenium, zinc, and manganese have previously been linked to preeclampsia at the time of disease. Our aims were to investigate whether maternal plasma micronutrient conc...
