Abstract excerpt
Dysregulation of adipocytokines may be associated with endothelial dysfunction in women with preeclampsia (PE), who are at increased risk of future cardiovascular disease. Visfatin, an adipocytokine with a potential cardiovascular role, is also known as nicotinamide phosphorybosil transferase (NAMPT). NAMPT gene polymorphisms affect circulating visfatin/NAMPT levels in obesity. Most findings provide evidence for...
