N-acetylcysteine restores nitric oxide-mediated effects in the fetoplacental circulation of preeclamptic patients

Article Abstract:

The effect of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) on the nitric oxide (NO)-pathway in the human fetoplacental circulation in preeclampsia and control pregnancies is examined. The NO-mediated effects are increased by NAC in the fetoplacental circulation in preeclamptic placentas and in healthy control placentas.

Microprostol induces cervical nitric oxide release in pregnant, but not in nonpregnant, women

Article Abstract:

The effect of microprostol on cervical nitric oxide release in pregnant and nonpregnant women is studied. The results show that vaginal microprostol stimulates cervical nitric oxide release in pregnancy and further suggests a joint action of nitric oxide and prostaglandins in cervical ripening.
