Abstract
These results suggest the potential requirement of circulating Ang-2 in proper formation of placental vasculatures during pregnancy. Although we cannot exclude the possibility that suppression in the increase of serum Ang-2 levels during pregnancy in preeclampsia as a consequence rather than a cause, measurement of serum Ang-2 concentration in pregnant women may serve as a useful marker in the diagnosis and potentially in predicting subsequent development of preeclampsia.
