Scientists probe vessel proteins in preeclampsia
NCT ID NCT03806283
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study collects tissue samples from women with and without preeclampsia during C-sections to examine blood vessel function. Researchers focus on a protein called AT2R, which may play a role in the condition. The goal is to better understand how preeclampsia affects blood vessels, not to test a new treatment.
