Hyperperhomocysteine has been implicated in vascular changes and oxidative stress contributing to endothelial dysfunction in preeclampsia. Our earlier studies have shown increased oxidative stress leading to reduced docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) levels in pre-eclamptic women. The present study examines the levels of angiogenic factors (VEGF, PlGF sFlt-1), homocysteine and oxidative stress marker malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, in 90 normotensive (control) and 137 preeclamptic women...
