Animal models of preeclampsia Podjarny E; Losonczy G; Baylis CSemin Nephrol 2004[Nov]; 24 (6): 596-606There have been many attempts to produce animal models that mimic the hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, especially preeclampsia, but most are incomplete when compared to the full spectrum of the human disease. This review assesses a number of these models, organized according to the investigators attempt to focus on a specific pathogenic mechanism believed to play a role in the human disease. These mechanisms include uterine ischemia, impairments in the nitric oxide system, insulin resistance, overactivity of the autonomic nervous and/or renin-angiotensin systems, activation of a systemic inflammatory response, and most recently, activation of circulating proteins that interfere with angiogenesis. In addition a model of renal disease that mimics superimposed preeclampsia is discussed. Defining these animal models should help in our quest to understand the cause, as well as to test preventative and therapeutic strategies in the management of these hypertensive disorders of pregnancy.|*Disease Models, Animal[MESH]|*Pre-Eclampsia[MESH]|Animals[MESH]|Doxorubicin/administration & dosage[MESH]|Female[MESH]|Ischemia[MESH]|Kidney Diseases/chemically induced[MESH]|Placenta/diagnostic imaging[MESH]|Pregnancy[MESH]|Ultrasonography[MESH]|Uterus/blood supply[MESH] |
