Abstract
The characteristic pathophysiological changes in pre-eclampsia are thought to be related to abnormalities of the maternal vascular endothelium. We suggest that the blood components that affect the risk of such damage are very-low-density lipoproteins (VLDL), which injure the endothelium, and toxicity-preventing activity (the pl 5.6 form of plasma albumin), which protects against VLDL-induced injury.Entities:
