2015, BBA ClinicalCitation Excerpt :Recently we have shown increased levels of MDA and decreased levels of catalase an antioxidant enzyme in a region specific manner in the PE placenta [23]. Further, studies have also reported regionwise alterations in the inflammatory cytokines, nitric oxide synthase enzyme and heat shock proteins in the PE placenta [20,24–26]. It is likely that the LCPUFA metabolism may differ in the placenta depending upon the requirement by the trophoblast cells for different physiological processes.
Placental expression of eNOS, iNOS and the major protein components of caveolae in women with pre-eclampsia
2015, PlacentaCitation Excerpt :As the placenta receives no autonomic input, it relies upon vasoactive mediators to regulate its vascular reactivity. Nitric oxide (NO) plays an integral role in controlling vascular resistance within the placenta; a disruption of this pathway has been identified in pre-eclampsia [1]. NO production is catalysed by the conversion of l-arginine to NO by NO synthases (NOS), two isoforms being present in the placenta: endothelial and inducible NOS (eNOS/iNOS) [2].
Is there a link between endothelial dysfunction, coagulation activation and nitric oxide synthesis in preeclampsia?
2013, Clinica Chimica ActaCitation Excerpt :In fact, NO synthesis in PE has been investigated by different methods but results were inconsistent. Thus, increased [24–27], decreased [28–32] or unchanged [33–37] NO synthesis in women with PE have been reported. Methodological shortcomings and sources of specimens may have contributed to such findings.
