Amniotic fluid prostanoids in preeclampsia.
Amniotic fluid from 19 patients with preeclampsia was compared with samples from normotensive control subjects with respect to the levels of prostaglandin 6-keto prostaglandin F1 alpha, thromboxane B2, and the ratio of 6-keto prostaglandin F1 alpha to thromboxane B2. The study found no significant differences in the levels of these prostanoids or the ratio of 6-keto prostaglandin F1 alpha to thromboxane B2 (study patients, 2.7 +/- 2.1; control patients, 2.8 +/- 1.9) between groups.
