Preeclampsia is a pregnancy-related disorder associated with increased cardiovascular risk for the offspring. Endothelial colony–forming cells (ECFCs) are a subset of circulating endothelial progenitor cells that participate in the formation of vasculature during development. However, the effect of preeclampsia on fetal levels of ECFCs is...

BACKGROUND Increased plasma levels of circulating cell-free DNA (c-f DNA) have been recently described in diseases related to ischemia and/or hypoxia. Preeclampsia (PCL) is a hypertensive disorder of pregnancy, of unknown origin, where a defective placentation resulting in placental ischemia plays an important role. HELLP syndrome (haemolysis,...

BACKGROUND Preeclampsia (PE) is a hypertensive disorder of pregnancy characterized by hypertension and proteinuria. The HELLP syndrome is the most severe form of PE. The aim of the present study was to determine different potential biomarkers that may help us perform an early diagnosis of the disease, assess on the severity of the disease,...

Background: Olive oil polyphenols have been associated with several cardiovascular health benefits. This study aims to examine the influence of a polyphenol-rich olive oil on blood pressure (BP) and endothelial function in 24 young women with high-normal BP or stage 1 essential hypertension. Methods: We conducted a double-blind, randomized,...

Objective Endothelial colony-forming cells (ECFCs) are a subset of circulating endothelial progenitor cells that are particularly abundant in umbilical cord blood. We sought to determine whether ECFC abundance in cord blood is associated with maternal body-mass index (BMI) in nonpathologic pregnancies. Study design We measured the level of...
