Abstract
SummaryNormal gestation implants on a relatively hypoxic deciduas so that trophoblast deeply invades endometrium and angiogenesis seeks for oxygen supply. If implantation occurs before those hypoxic conditions occur, trophoblast invasion is defective, due to the relatively high oxygen tension in the decidual environment, laying the foundations for subsequent pre-eclampsia.
