A study of lipoproteins in normal and pregnancy induced hypertensive women in tertiary care hospitals of the north west frontier province-Pakistan.

abstract：BACKGROUND:There is evidence of altered vascular endothelial function in women with preeclampsia as well as in the endothelial cells from umbilical vessels of preeclamptic pregnancies. Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 is elevated in the plasma of preeclamptic women and is a mediator of vascular reactivity; however, whe...
