CD4 + T Cells Are Important Mediators of Oxidative Stress That Cause Hypertension in Response to Placental Ischemia

Abstract excerpt

Preeclampsia is associated with oxidative stress, which is suspected to play a role in hypertension, placental ischemia, and fetal demise associated with the disease. Various cellular sources of oxidative stress, such as neutrophils, monocytes, and CD4(+) T cells have been suggested as culprits in the pathophysiology of preeclampsia. The objective of this study was to examine a role of circulating and placental...
