| Abstract | t Objective:: To determine whether the phospholipi d composition of circulating microparticles fromm women with preeclampsia , normal pregnant and nonpregnan t women and to establish their effectt on endothelial function in isolated myometrial arteries from normal pregnant women. Methods:: Plasma samples were collected from women with preeclampsi a (n=ll), normal pregnantt (n-10) and nonpregnan t women (n=10), matched for age and gestationa l age. The phospholipi dd composition of the microparticles was determined by high performanc e thin layer chromatography .. Myometrial resistanc e arteries were isolated from myometrial biopsies at cesarea nn delivery of normal pregnant women and mounted in a wire myograph after overnight incubationn with isolated microparticles from women with preeclampsia , normal pregnant and nonpregnan tt women. BK-mediated relaxation was determined. Results:: Microparticles in all groups mainly consisted of PC and smaller amount s of SM, PEa, PI andd lyso-phospholipids . The percentag e lyso-PC was significantl y decrease d in pregnanc y and preeclampsia .. There were no major differences in phospholipi d composition between women withh preeclampsi a and normal pregnant women. BK-mediated relaxation was significantl y decrease dd in myometrial arteries after incubation with preeclampti c microparticles, in contrast to normall pregnant and nonpregnan t microparticles . Conclusions:: Circulating microparticles from women with preeclampsi a diminish endotheliumdependen tt relaxation after overnight incubation in isolated myometrial arteries. This difference doess not seem to resul t from differences in the phospholipi d composition of circulating microparticles. . |
