Summary: | Background
The main purpose of this study was to determine the maternal and umbilical cord blood oxidized LDL (oxLDL) and soluble lectin-like oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor-1 (sLOX-1) levels in early- and late-onset preeclampsia (PE).
Materials and methods
A case–control study was conducted in pregnant women with early-onset (before 34 weeks’ gestation
n
= 19) and late-onset (after 34 weeks’ gestation
n
= 22) PE compared to healthy normotensive pregnant controls (
n
= 44). Groups were compared for the maternal and umbilical cord plasma oxLDL and serum sLOX-1 levels.
Results
The mean maternal and umbilical cord serum sLOX-1 and plasma oxLDL levels were significantly increased in early- and late-onset PE compared to controls (
