Dyslipidemia, Iron, and Oxidative Stress in Preeclampsia: Assessment of Maternal and Feto-Placental Interactions

Abstract excerpt

The etiology and pathogenesis of the pregnancy syndrome preeclampsia remain poorly understood. There is evidence that oxidative stress (am imbalance between oxidant and antioxidant forces in favor of oxidants) occurs in preeclampsia, and it has been hypothesized that reactive oxygen species or their metabolites ultimately comprise the "defensive" vasodilatory, antiaggregatory, and barrier functioning of the...
