Preeclampsia is defined as new-onset hypertension after the 20th wk of gestation along with
evidence of maternal organ failure. Rates of preeclampsia have steadily increased over the …

Nitric oxide (NO) is a major paracrine mediator and important regulatory agent in various
female reproductive processes, such as ovulation, implantation, pregnancy maintenance …

Researchers disagree as to the importance of nitric oxide (NO) in preeclampsia. Many
researchers have alluded to NO's possible primary or secondary role in the development of …

Although there is substantial evidence that preeclampsia has a genetic background, the
complexity of the processes involved and the fact that preeclampsia is a maternal–fetal …

Pre-eclampsia, one of the most significant health problems in human pregnancy,
complicates 6-7% of all gestations and is the leading cause of fetal growth retardation, infant …

Objectives: To measure the maternal and fetal serum concentrations of total nitrites and
nitrates (as an index of nitric oxide production) in normal pregnancy, pre-eclampsia and …

We tested the hypothesis that nitric oxide (NO) biosynthesis increases during normal human
pregnancy and decreases in preeclampsia. The major metabolites of NO, nitrate and nitrite …

Nitric oxide is produced enzymatically by the nitric oxide synthase (NOS), which converts l-
arginine in the presence of oxygen to l-citrulline and NO. Moreover, it has been reported that …

Objective To measure endothelium‐dependent relaxation in myometrial resistance arteries
and to compare this parameter in nonpregnant and normotensive pregnant women and …

We investigated the role of nitric oxide (NO) in the vascular resistance changes of
normotensive and preeclamptic pregnancy. Forearm blood flow (FBF) responses to brachial …
