Serum levels of leptin and IP-10 in preeclampsia compared to controls
2015
Purpose
Preeclampsia (PE) is a pregnancy-specific syndrome with a complex, yet elusive, etiology. The production of a variety of factors probably implicated in diverse pathways may trigger endothelial dysfunction leading to PE pathogenesis. The aim of the present study was to investigate and compare the concentrations of leptin and interferon-gamma-inducible protein-10 (IP-10), factors characterized by inflammatory, immunomodulatory and angiogenic activities, and to evaluate their possible interaction in women with normotensive pregnancy and PE.
