Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the involvement of the Wnt signaling pathway in early- and late-onset preeclampsia (PE) by measuring serum levels of Dickkopf-1 and R-Spondin-3 in 80 pregnant women.
- Results indicated that Dickkopf-1 levels were significantly higher in the early-onset PE group compared to controls, but no significant differences were found between the two PE groups or in R-Spondin-3 levels.
- The study concludes that elevated Dickkopf-1 may play a role in early-onset PE, prompting the need for further research to clarify its exact implications in PE pathology.
Objective: To investigate sestrin 2 (SESN2) levels in preeclampsia (PE) cases and uncomplicated pregnancies.
Methods: Cross-sectional study including 26 pregnant women with PE, 24 with severe-PE, and 30 randomly selected healthy pregnant women.
Results: The mean arterial pressure, severe proteinuria, number of HELLP syndrome cases, and serum SESN2 levels in the severe PE group were significantly higher than those in the other groups (p < 0.
