Numerous recent reports demonstrated that changes in serum levels of angiogenesis-related factors were associated with preeclampsia. Here, we determined the serum concentration of angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2), a natural antagonist of angiopoietin-1 (Ang-1) involved in promoting angiogenesis in the presence of angiogenic stimuli such as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), in women with preeclampsia.
