Evidence for the existence of a novel pregnancy-associated soluble variant of the vascular endothelial growth factor receptor, Flt-1
1 Apr 1998
Abstract excerpt
Angiogenesis is essential in physiological processes including ovulation, implantation and pregnancy. One of the most potent regulators is the cytokine vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). We provide evidence for a novel pregnancy-associated soluble variant of the VEGF receptor Flt-1. VEGF ranged from undetectable to 157.3 pg/ml (mean 49.9 pg/ml, SD 48.4 pg/ml) in plasma samples from normal volunteers (n =...
