Preeclampsia (PE) has long been assumed to be an ischemic disease of the placenta, although there is limited evidence as to how the ischemia impacts on the placenta. AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a key regulator of cellular energy metabolism and plays an important role in a variety of ischemic diseases by enhancing energy production. The present study investigated placental metabolism in PE, and the role of AMPK in regulating trophoblast function.
