Background: Preeclampsia (PE) is a complex multi-organ disorder characterized by systemic inflammation, endothelial dysfunction, and vasoconstriction, which manifests as hypertension, with or without proteinuria. Effective preventive strategies for PE are currently lacking in clinical practice, leading to significant morbidity and mortality among mothers and newborns.
Objective: This study aims to investigate the impact of metformin (MET) on the l-NAME-induced PE rat model, focusing on the mechanisms through which MET may exert its effects.

Background: Maternal vitamin D deficiency is associated with an increased risk of preeclampsia, a potentially life-threatening multi-system disorder specific to human pregnancy. Placental trophoblast dysfunction is a key factor in the development of preeclampsia, and the activation of NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome may play a crucial role in this process. Previous studies have suggested that vitamin D can exert beneficial effects by suppressing inflammasome activation, but the underlying mechanism has not been fully elucidated.

: Pre-eclampsia (PE) is a pregnancy-specific condition characterized by significant health risks for pregnant women worldwide due to its status as a multi-organ disorder. High blood pressure (hypertension) with or without proteinuria is usually considered an initial clinical sign of PE. The pathogenesis of pre-eclampsia is highly complex and likely involves multiple factors, including poorly developed uterine spiral arterioles, immunological issues, placental ischemia or infarction, and genetic abnormalities.
