Molecular Evidence of Placental Hypoxia in Preeclampsia

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Oxygen plays a central role in human placental pathologies including preeclampsia, a leading cause of fetal and maternal death and morbidity. Insufficient uteroplacental oxygenation in preeclampsia is believed to be responsible for the molecular events leading to the clinical manifestations of this disease.
