“Additionally, through its inhibition of both IL-1β and ROS production by the trophoblast, allopurinol reduced the additional pro-inflammatory and anti-angiogenic responses to excess glucose.”
“ Allopurinol also significantly inhibited excess glucose induced trophoblast secretion of anti-angiogenic sFlt-1.”
“Together, our findings indicate that the xanthine oxidase inhibitor allopurinol inhibited excess glucose induced trophoblast IL-1β secretion.”
