Evidence for increased methylglyoxal in the vasculature of women with preeclampsia: role in upregulation of LOX-1 and arginase.

15 Aug 2009 Preeclampsia is characterized by vascular endothelial dysfunction partly attributed to oxidative stress. In the vasculature of preeclamptic women, we have shown increased lectin-like oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor 1 (LOX-1) and arginase ... Read more...

Insights into angiogenic imbalances during pregnancy.

30 Jul 2009 BACKGROUND: An excess of either angiogenic or antiangiogenic factors may participate in the pathophysiology of life-threatening pregnancy complications. CASES: We describe two patients with severe early onset preeclampsia associated with partial ... Read more...

Maternal serum dyslipidemia occurs early in pregnancy in women with mild but not severe preeclampsia.

22 Jul 2009 OBJECTIVE: We sought to determine whether serum lipids at midgestation differ between normotensive women and women developing mild and severe preeclampsia. STUDY DESIGN: A case-control study of 50 women with preeclampsia (mild = 26; severe = 24) and ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Pre-Eclampsia'

Definition: 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.
