Chronic hypoxia during gestation enhances uterine arterial myogenic tone via heightened oxidative stress.
Chronic hypoxia during gestation has profound adverse effects on the adaptation of uteroplacental circulation in pregnancy. Yet, the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. The present study tested the hypothesis that enhanced production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in uterine arteries p...
