What is Stress and Pre-Eclampsia in Pregnancy about?
1) Psychological stress during pregnancy can increase cortisol levels and alter the immune system, potentially leading to pre-eclampsia. 2) High cortisol levels are associated with hypertension and endothelial dysfunction, both features of pre-eclampsia. 3) Lymphocytes from pregnant women under distress may have reduced sensitivity to glucocorticoids like dexamethasone, disrupting the HPA axis and increasing health risks for both mother and child.
