Pharmacological management of HDP includes agents supported by extensive evidence ensuring their safety for use. Among those traditionally described in the literature are: alpha-methyldopa, labetalol, and sustained-release nifedipine (NIF-RETARD). These drugs, in addition to being compatible with pregnancy, present additional eligibility criteria.

- The study focuses on two enzymes, GlgAb and GlgAc, from a bacterial genus that play a crucial role in glycogen synthesis and biofuel production through oleaginous behaviors when carbon and nitrogen ratios are optimized.
- Both enzymes were produced in cells and characterized for their activity, showing that GlgAc is more efficient in using glucose-1P as a substrate compared to GlgAb.
- Interestingly, GlgAb has a unique structure with a super-oligomeric conformation and displays similar efficiencies in synthesizing oligosaccharides, suggesting a complex relationship between enzyme structure and function in polysaccharide biosynthesis.
