商品簡介
Wilson (U. of Glasgow, Scotland) explores similarities in two complications that occur at different points in pregnancies--miscarriage, being a first trimester condition, and pre-eclampsia, being a third trimester condition--and the roles of antioxidants and the immune system in both conditions. Coverage includes overviews of the clinical aspects of miscarriage and of pre-eclampsia; antioxidants and serum cytokines in pre-eclampsia; peripheral cytokines and decidual cytokines; and antioxidants and thyroid antibodies in miscarriage. It is the author's hope that greater understanding of the processes involved in the development of these two conditions will lead to more successful treatments.
