Preeclampsia is a disorder specific of the human being that appears after 20 weeks of
pregnancy, characterized by new onset of hypertension and proteinuria. Abnormal …

The etiology of preeclampsia is unknown. At present, 4 hypotheses are the subject of
extensive investigation, as follows:(1) Placental ischemia—Increased trophoblast …

Following its benchmark discovery, nitric oxide (NO) is now known to play important
functional roles in a variety of physiological systems. Within the vasculature, NO induces …

Background—Exposure to risk factors such as hypertension or hypercholesterolemia
decreases the bioavailability of endothelium-derived nitric oxide (NO) and impairs …

An increasing number of reports indicate that endogenously produced inhibitors of nitric
oxide synthase, particularly asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA), regulate nitric oxide …

This review will consider whether nitric oxide (NO) contributes to maternal systemic
vasodilation during pregnancy, regulates uterine and fetoplacental blood flow, and is …

Pre-eclampsia, a syndrome of pregnant women, is one of the leading causes of maternal
and fetal morbidity and mortality. Despite active research, the etiology of this disorder …

Our aim was to investigate systemic nitric oxide (NO) production and its potential
determinants such as insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, and circulating methylated analogs of …
