Abstract:
OBJECTIVES:The purpose of this study was to examine neurokinin B levels in serum from preeclamptic and normotensive and to investigate the role of neurokinin B in preeclampsia. STUDY DESIGN:Peripheral and uterine venous blood neurokinin B levels were measured in 14 normotensive and 8 preeclamptic pregnant women by radioimmunoassay. RESULTS:Neurokinin B levels in normotensive women were 4.91 +/- 2.67 nmol/L in peripheral and 5.59 +/- 2.06 nmol/L in uterine blood. In pregnant women with preeclampsia, neurokinin B levels were 2.79 +/- 1.68 nmol/L and 3.20 +/- 1.55 nmol/L, respectively. Neurokinin B levels were significantly higher in normotensive women (P=.032 in peripheral and P=.006 in uterine blood). CONCLUSIONS:Neurokinin B serum levels were higher in normotensive women. Higher neurokinin B concentrations in normotensive pregnant women may be due to the advanced gestational age and/or the result of a negative interaction of other vasoactive substances. The role of neurokinin B in preeclampsia remains to be determined.
