Sulfasalazine reduces placental secretion of antiangiogenic factors, up-regulates the secretion of placental growth factor and rescues endothelial dysfunctionResearch in context

Background: Preeclampsia is a major complication of pregnancy with no medical treatment.It is associated with placental oxidative stress, hypoxia and inflammation leading to soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase 1 (sFlt-1) and soluble endoglin (sENG) secretion and reduced placental growth factor (PlGF).This results in widespread endothelial dysfunction
