Inflammation-induced fetal growth restriction in rats is associated with increased placental HIF-1α accumulation.

INTRODUCTION:Hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha (HIF-1α) is the oxygen-sensitive subunit of the transcription factor HIF-1, and its expression is increased in placentas from pregnancies complicated by pre-eclampsia (PE). Fetal growth restriction (FGR) and PE often share a common pathophysiology; howev...
