Identification of potential biomarkers associated with oxidative stress in the pathogenesis of pre-eclampsia

Abstract excerpt

Pre-eclampsia (PE) is a multisystem pregnancy disorder characterized by placental and maternal endothelial dysfunction, and affects approximately 5% to 7% of pregnancies worldwide, leading to significant maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality. Mounting evidence indicates that placental oxidative stress (OS) plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of PE. However, the specific mechanisms associated with OS...
