Haptoglobin polymorphism affects nitric oxide bioavailability in preeclampsia

Studies showed elevated cell-free hemoglobin (Hb) in preeclampsia (PE), and Hb reacts with nitric oxide (NO), decreasing its bioavailability. Haptoglobin (Hp) is a polymorphic protein (Hp1-1, Hp2-1 and Hp2-2) that binds Hb to form a complex that is removed from circulation, thus preventing Hb-driven...
