Methods: A case-control study, using secondary information registries. Cases were defined using newborn weight of ≥ 4000g, while controls were defined as newborn weight between 3000-3999g.
Objective: To examine the expression of hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1), TfR1, and TfR1-attached terminal monosaccharides in placentas of women with IDAP and severe preeclampsia.
