Inflammation—The role of ATP in pre‐eclampsia

Abstract excerpt

Abstract Sterile inflammation may be initiated by molecules in the host organism that signal “damage” or “danger” also known as danger‐associated molecular pattern (DAMPs). In pre‐eclampsia (PE), a variety of DAMPs may be involved in the etiology or exacerbation of the disorder. Adenosine 5’‐triphosphate (ATP) is a key intracellular energy molecule as well as a ligand for purinergic receptors. In humans, under...
