DOI: 10.3390/antiox11112111
Abstract: Preeclampsia (PE) is characterized by great endothelial dysfunction, decreased nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability, and higher levels of arginase activity. In the present study, we investigated the potential modulatory effects of trans-resveratrol (RSV) on arginase and… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/ijms23063336
Abstract: Previous studies implicated cardiotonic steroids, including Na/K-ATPase inhibitor marinobufagenin (MBG), in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia (PE). Recently, we demonstrated that (i) MBG induces fibrosis in rat tissues via a mechanism involving Fli1, a negative regulator… read more here.
