Circulating Endothelial Progenitor Cells During Normal Pregnancy and Pre‐Eclampsia

Abstract excerpt

PROBLEM: Endothelial progenitor cell (EPC), which mediates neovascularization of uterine endometrium may be involved in the neovascularization in the utero-placental circulation. We evaluated whether EPC proliferation in pre-eclampsia (PE) differed from that in normal pregnancy. METHOD OF STUDY: EPC number in peripheral blood (20 non-pregnancy, 36 normal pregnancy, 10 PE) was measured using flow cytometry....
