Circulating platelet-derived and placenta-derived microparticles expose Flt-1 in preeclampsia.
BACKGROUND: Flt-1 is secreted by various cells and elevated concentrations are present in preeclampsia affecting vascular function. Microparticles from these cells may expose Flt-1. We evaluated whether Flt-1 is microparticle-associated in preeclampsia, and established the origin of Flt-1-exposing...
