Pre-Eclampsia - Metabolism
Research News and Information
Definition of 'Pre-Eclampsia'A complication of PREGNANCY, characterized by a complex of symptoms including maternal HYPERTENSION and PROTEINURIA with or without pathological EDEMA. Symptoms may range between mild and severe. Pre-eclampsia usually occurs after the 20th week of gestation, but may develop before this time in the presence of trophoblastic disease. Common names: Pre-Eclampsia; Pre Eclampsia; Toxemias, Pregnancy; Edema-Proteinuria-Hypertension Gestosis; Edema Proteinuria Hypertension Gestosis; Gestosis, Edema-Proteinuria-Hypertension; EPH Complex; Pregnancy Toxemias; Pregnancy Toxemia; Toxemia, Pregnancy; EPH Toxemias; EPH Toxemia; Toxemia, EPH |

Telomere aggregate formation in placenta specimens of pregnancies complicated with pre-eclampsia.
30 Oct 2009 
Telomeres are specific repetitive DNA sequences that cap and stabilize the ends of chromosomes. Functional telomeres are essential for the normal segregation and maintenance of chromosomes during mitotic and meiotic division. Pre-eclampsia, a ... Read more...
Differential proteome analysis of the preeclamptic placenta using optimized protein extraction.
11 Sep 2009 The human placenta is a difficult tissue to work with using proteomic technology since it contains large amounts of lipids and glycogen. Both lipids and glycogen are known to interfere with the first step in the two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel ... Read more...
30 Aug 2009 PROBLEM: Preeclampsia, a pregnancy disorder, is associated with exaggerated inflammation and increased serum monokines. Uterine natural killer (NK) cells are implicated in preeclampsia pathology, but little is known regarding peripheral NK cells in ... Read more...
