Abstract: Background: Placentae of women with preeclampsia (PE) exhibit reduced levels of kynurenine (Kyn), a biological compound derived from tryptophan metabolism with antioxidant, vasorelaxant, and hypotensive properties. Little is known regarding functional levels of the Kyn metabolizing enzymes (KYNME) in women with preeclampsia. Since high circulating levels of syncytiotrophoblast extracellular vesicles (STB-EVs) have been associated with preeclampsia onset, we aimed to study whether Kyn reduction in preeclampsia … Show more
