   Keywords : Atrial natriuretic peptide; Blood vessels; Endothelin-l; Endothelin receptors; Myogenic tone; Myometrial Arteries; Preeclampsia; Pregnancy; Nitric oxide; Shear stress; Vascular endothelium; Vascular smooth muscle .;

   Abstract : Background: Normal pregnancy is characterized by the occurrence of substantial vasodilatation. Pressure responsiveness and vascular reactivity to administered vasoconstrictors undergo considerable attenuation. These circulatory changes are essential to maintain adequate oxygen and nutrient delivery to the placenta and thus to the fetus. READ MORE

   Keywords : resistance arteries;

   Abstract : Background: End-stage renal disease (ESRD) and preeclampsia (PE) are associated with high risk of cardiovascular events and characterized by endothelial dysfunction. Resistance arteries are actively involved in the control of blood pressure and blood flow to the target organs. READ MORE

5. 3. Endothelial function in isolated small arteries from women at reproductive age and after menopause : possibilities for improvement

   Author : Eimantas Svedas; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Background: Alterations in vascular function are present in patients with Preeclampsia (PE) and in women after menopause. PE is a syndrome peculiar to human pregnancy that adversely affects the mother by endothelial dysfunction and the fetus due to impaired uteroplacental blood flow. READ MORE
