The present study shows that serum prolidase activity and oxidative stress are significantly associated with the presence of FGR and that the correlation between serum prolidase activity and markers of oxidative stress are represented as increased serum TOS level and decreased serum TAC and -SH levels, suggesting an association of collagen turnover and oxidative stress in vascular dysfunction.
Increased serum prolidase activity and oxidative stress may be associated with endometrial cancer, and increased serum prolidase activity may be related to local invasion of endometrial cancer.
Bilateral notch together with abnormal PI measurements in the uterine artery Doppler screening during the second trimester was associated with poor perinatal outcomes. Such an association was not significant in the NT-proBNP measurements. Larger trials focused on late-onset preeclampsia are needed to draw definitive conclusions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
