denotes |
Interleukin-6, tumour necrosis factor and soluble tumour necrosis factor receptors in women with pre-eclampsia. |

Sentence |
denotes |
OBJECTIVES: |
TextSentencer_T3 |
124-335 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Generalised maternal endothelial cell dysfunction appears to be an underlying problem in pre-eclampsia presumed to be caused, directly or indirectly, by one or more circulating factors derived from the placenta. |
TextSentencer_T4 |
336-486 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Recently it has been suggested that tumour necrosis factor (TNF) may play an important role in pre-eclampsia and contribute to endothelial activation. |
TextSentencer_T5 |
487-540 |
Sentence |
denotes |
This study was designed to investigate this proposal. |
TextSentencer_T6 |
541-548 |
Sentence |
denotes |
DESIGN: |
TextSentencer_T7 |
549-758 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Plasma TNF-alpha, IL-6 and both forms of soluble TNF receptors (p55 and p75 TNF-R) have been measured by ELISA in 31 pre-eclamptic patients and 31 pregnant controls matched for age, parity and gestational age. |
TextSentencer_T8 |
759-767 |
Sentence |
denotes |
RESULTS: |
TextSentencer_T9 |
768-994 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Levels of IL-6, TNF-alpha and soluble TNF-R (p55 and p75) were significantly higher in pre-eclamptic patients, compared with age and gestation matched controls with a wide variation in levels between pre-eclamptic individuals. |
TextSentencer_T10 |
995-1092 |
Sentence |
denotes |
There was a correlation between levels of IL-6 and TNF or TNF-R and between TNF and TNF-R levels. |
TextSentencer_T11 |
1093-1325 |
Sentence |
denotes |
However, when the pre-eclamptic patients were subdivided on the basis of the severity of their disease, the median values of plasma concentrations of IL-6, TNF-alpha and TNF-R were all higher in the group with lower platelet counts. |
TextSentencer_T12 |
1326-1338 |
Sentence |
denotes |
CONCLUSIONS: |
TextSentencer_T13 |
1339-1606 |
Sentence |
denotes |
These new findings are consistent with the concept that the maternal syndrome of pre-eclampsia is associated with endothelial dysfunction and provide evidence that at least part of this dysfunction could arise from excessive release of TNF-alpha into the circulation. |
