1. Oxidative Stress, Angiogenesis and Inflammation in Normal Pregnancy and Postpartum
Abstract : The aims were to investigate oxidative stress (I), angiogenesis (II) and inflammation (III-IV) in healthy women during pregnancy and postpartum. Oxidative stress was estimated by measurement of 8-iso-PGF2α and the antioxidants α- and γ-tocopherol. READ MORE

2. Exosomes and the NKG2D receptor-ligand system in pregnancy and cancer : using stress for survival
Abstract : Although not obvious at first sight, several parallels can be drawn between pregnancy andcancer. Many proliferative, invasive and immune tolerance mechanisms that supportnormal pregnancy are also exploited by malignancies to establish a nutrient supply andevade or edit the immune response of the host.

3. Endogenous and Exogenous Drivers of Oxidative Stress and Inflammation in Preeclampsia
Abstract : Preeclampsia (PE), is a pregnancy related condition afflicting 3-8% of all pregnancies and a main cause of maternal and infant morbidity and mortality. It is thought to originate from a malfunctioning placental that eventually leads to damage to the maternal endothelium, which in turn gives rise to hypertension and organ dysfunction. READ MORE

4. Oxidative stress, antioxidative defence and outcome of gestation in experimental diabetic pregnancy
Abstract : Maternal type 1 diabetes is associated with an increased risk for foetal malformations. The mechanism by which diabetes is teratogenic is not fully known. Previous studies have demonstrated that radical oxygen species can contribute to the teratogenicity of glucose and diabetes. READ MORE

5. Experimental and Clinical Studies of Oxidative Stress in Pre-Eclampsia
Abstract : Impaired placentation and oxidative stress are proposed to play major roles in the pathogenesis of pre-eclampsia (PE). It has recently been pointed out that PE might be more than one disease and may have several different pathogeneses. READ MORE
