The pregnancy-specific condition pre-eclampsia not only affects the health of mother and baby during pregnancy but also has long-term consequences, increasing the chances of cardiovascular disease in later life. It is accepted that pre-eclampsia has... Read More about The role of genetics in pre-eclampsia and potential pharmacogenomic interventions.

Folate transporter expression decreases in the human placenta throughout pregnancy and in pre-eclampsia (2012)
Journal Article
Williams, P. J., Mistry, H. D., & Morgan, L. (2012). Folate transporter expression decreases in the human placenta throughout pregnancy and in pre-eclampsia. Pregnancy Hypertension, 2(2), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.preghy.2011.12.001

The transport of folate across the placenta involves a number of different receptors including folate receptor-alpha (FR-?), reduced folate carrier (RFC) and proton coupled folate transporter (PCFT). In addition there are a number of ATP-dependent tr... Read More about Folate transporter expression decreases in the human placenta throughout pregnancy and in pre-eclampsia.
