Are decidual expression and maternal serum levels of heme oxygenase 1 increased in pre-eclampsia?
Increased decidual and serum HMOX1 levels, together with altered decidual expression of some stress-related genes in cases, support the role of oxidative stress and excessive maternal inflammatory response in the pathogenesis of PE.
At 6 months after GBP, serum 25OHD significantly increased in subjects supplemented with multivitamins containing low doses of vitamin D. These data suggest that weight loss at 6 months after surgery has a greater influence on vitamin D status than malabsorption induced by GBP.
