Heme Oxygenase-1 is critically involved in placentation, spiral artery remodeling and blood pressure regulation during murine pregnancy

The onset of pregnancy implies the appearance of a new organ, the placenta. One main function of the placenta is to supply oxygen to the fetus via hemoproteins. In this review, we highlight the importance of the enzyme heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) for pregnancy to be established and maintained. HO-1 expr...
