Abstract

Hypertension is a pathological condition that involves maternal fetal relationship. In hypertension placenta displays a syncytiotrophoblast plasmalemma with aspects of anomalous behaviour concerning Intramembranous Particles (IMP) and actin content of microvilli cytoskeleton. Decrease of syncytiotrophoblast microvilli IMP and microvilli actin further sustain the tendency of hypertensive placenta to show some features of immaturity that might deeply influence fetal-maternal exchanges during pregnancy associated with pathological status.
