Compensatory Feto-Placental Upregulation of the Nitric Oxide System during Fetal Growth Restriction
27 Sept 2012
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Fetal Growth Restriction is often associated with a feto-placental vascular dysfunction conceivably involving endothelial cells. Our study aimed to verify this pathogenic role for feto-placental endothelial cells and, coincidentally, demonstrate any abnormality in the nitric oxide system. METHODS: Prenatal assessment of feto-placental vascular function was combined with measurement of nitric oxide (in...
