Placental‐Specific Overexpression of sFlt‐1 Alters Trophoblast Differentiation and Nutrient Transporter Expression in an IUGR Mouse Model
10 Nov 2016
Abstract excerpt
Since it is known that placental overexpression of the human anti-angiogenic molecule sFlt-1, the main candidate in the progression of preeclampsia, lead to intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) in mice by lentiviral transduction of mouse blastocysts, we hypothesize that sFlt-1 influence placental morphology and physiology resulting in fetal IUGR. We therefore examined the effect of sFlt-1 on placental...
