Oxidized lipids do not appear to alter the contractility of human umbilical arteries. Damage to the cells lining blood vessels is believed to play a role in the clinical signs and symptoms of pregnancy-induced hypertension. One likely cause of the damage is oxidative stress caused by highly reactive compounds such as lipid peroxide. Blood levels of lipid peroxides are elevated in hypertensive pregnancies, and lipid peroxides have previously been shown to cause blood vessel constriction. In a study, artery ring segments were removed from human umbilical cords at birth and placed in titered solutions. Contractility was measured in the presence of lipid peroxidase, U46619 and CA++ solutions. No effects were found for lipid peroxidase. The contractile response was lessened in the other solutions.
