Abstract excerpt
The etiology and pathophysiology of preeclampsia are not fully understood. However, oxidative stress has been strongly linked to the occurrence of this multi-system disease. This has led to many theories of the pathogenesis of preeclampsia involving placental oxidative stress. In this study, we hypothesized that polymorphisms of anti-oxidant genes in the placental tissue contributed to susceptibility to...
