Placental lipid metabolism in preeclampsia

Objectives: The current study examines the placental and maternal lipid profile and expression of genes involved in placental lipid metabolism in women with preeclampsia. Methods: The current study includes normotensive control women (n = 40) and women with preeclampsia (n = 39). Preeclampsia women were further classified into women delivering at term preeclampsia (T-PE; n = 15) and preterm preeclampsia (PT-PE; n = 24). Results: There were no significant differences in maternal lipid profile between the T-PE and normotensive control groups. Maternal plasma VLDL (P
