Oxidative Stress in trophoblast cells and the role in preeclampsia
Dr Daniel Vaiman from Institut Cochin U1016, France will give a presentation about "Deciphering the function of the STOX1 protein in the management of oxidative stress in trophoblast cells" during Paris Redox World Congress 2016.
According to Dr Vaiman, Preeclampsia is one of the major diseases of pregnancy, and a major concern for Gynecologists and Obstetricians throughout the world (6). It affects ~5% of pregnancies and is characterized by a pregnancy-induced hypertension accompanied by proteinuria, occurring from the second trimester of gestation. A large corpus of scientific literature connects preeclampsia with oxidative stress (4,5). It is well known that free oxygen species combine readily with Nitric Oxide to generate peroxinitrite ions (ONOO.), a free radical which will nitrate proteins."
