Abstract
The RUPP rat model of Preeclampsia exhibits hypertension (MAP), cytolytic natural killer (cNK) cells, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and mitochondrial Reactive Oxygen Species (mt ROS). Objective: Does TNF-α blockade with ETAN (Etanercept) decrease cNK cell and mt ROS in RUPP rats.
Methods: On gestational day 14, RUPP surgery was performed, ETAN (0.4 mg/kg) was administered on day 18, MAP, blood and tissues collected on 19.
Results: MAP, cytolytic NK cells and mt ROS were elevated in RUPP vs. NP and normalized with ETAN.
Conclusion: TNF-α blockade lowered blood pressure and improve inflammation and organ function in response to placental ischemia.
期刊介绍:
Hypertension in Pregnancy is a refereed journal in the English language which publishes data pertaining to human and animal hypertension during gestation. Contributions concerning physiology of circulatory control, pathophysiology, methodology, therapy or any other material relevant to the relationship between elevated blood pressure and pregnancy are acceptable. Published material includes original articles, clinical trials, solicited and unsolicited reviews, editorials, letters, and other material deemed pertinent by the editors.
