Abstract
The current understanding of endothelial membrane prostaglandin metabolism is presented together with an explanation of how this may be altered in pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH). A hypothesis is proposed to explain why dietary supplementation with eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) may reverse abnormal prostaglandin metabolism, increase membrane fluidity and lower blood pressure in PIH.Entities:
