activins and Cardiovascular Pregnancy Complications

activins has been researched along with Cardiovascular Pregnancy Complications in 10 studies

Activins: Activins are produced in the pituitary, gonads, and other tissues. By acting locally, they stimulate pituitary FSH secretion and have diverse effects on cell differentiation and embryonic development. Activins are glycoproteins that are hetero- or homodimers of INHIBIN-BETA SUBUNITS.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"The link between a wide range of pregnancy complications and unexplained elevated mid-trimester levels of maternal serum alpha-fetoprotein (MSAFP) and maternal serum human chorionic gonadotrophin (MShCG), with its subunits, is becoming established."2.40Maternal serum biochemical screening for pregnancy complications other than aneuploidy. ( Jauniaux, E; Pahal, GS, 1997)
"Those with chronic hypertension have lower serum but not urine free activin A levels, compared with severe pre-eclampsia and mild pre-eclampsia."1.33Serum and urine inhibin A but not free activin A are endocrine biomarkers of severe pre-eclampsia. ( Buhimschi, CS; Buhimschi, IA; Copel, JA; Funai, EF; Hamar, BD; Magloire, LK; Pettker, CM; Sfakianaki, AK, 2006)
"Activin A is not a useful predictor of preeclampsia in this setting."1.32Maternal serum activin A is not elevated before preeclampsia in women who are at high risk. ( Blackburn, CA; Keelan, JA; North, RA; Taylor, RS, 2003)
"Activin A levels were higher in the preeclampsia group (median 31."1.30Comparison of maternal serum total activin A and inhibin A in normal, preeclamptic, and nonproteinuric gestationally hypertensive pregnancies. ( Canick, JA; Hogan, J; Lambert-Messerlian, GM; Silver, HM; Star, JA, 1999)
