  • Title: Hepatocellular lipofuscin in pre-eclampsia.
    Author: Minakami H, Kimura K, Tamada T, Yasuda Y, Hirota N.
    Journal: Asia Oceania J Obstet Gynaecol; 1989 Sep; 15(3):277-80. PubMed ID: 2597092.
    Abstract:
    Thirty liver specimens from 30 pre-eclamptic women with and without liver dysfunction were examined for the amount of lipofuscin pigment deposited. The amount of hepatic lipofuscin correlated positively with plasma urate concentrations. This finding may indicate an involvement of oxygen-free radicals and xanthine oxidase in the pathophysiology of pre-eclampsia.
