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

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

This presentation of the diseases of the placenta differs in many ways from the first such
treatment in these volumes by the eminent Robert Meyer. It is a deliberate attempt to bring …

Nitric oxide (NO) has emerged as a novel regulator of several ovarian events, such as
ovulation, steroidogenesis, and apoptotic cell death. The NO synthases (NOS) are a family …

In this study we tested the hypothesis that expression of heme oxygenases HO‐1 and HO‐2,
which are responsible for the production of carbon monoxide, are reduced in the placenta …

The act of smoking introduces a complex set of chemicals that have a broad range of effects,
both complementary and antagonistic, at various levels within the vascular tree. A general …

OBJECTIVE: Our purpose was to determine whether a reduction in nitric oxide synthesis
occurs in women with severe preeclampsia as a consequence of soluble serum factors …

Preeclampsia is a mainly vascular disease of pregnancy, probably caused by an imbalance
between vasodilator and vasoconstrictor agents that results in generalized vasospasm and …

The aim of this study was to measure plasma concentrations of total nitrites, as an index of
nitric oxide (NO) synthesis, in the fetal circulation of normal pregnancies and in pregnancies …

The placental endothelium contributes to regulating transplacental exchange and
maintaining the immunological maternofetal barrier. We characterized the endothelial …
