Clinical Trials

Overview

About this study

This study will allow us to determine normal values for the health of this gel-like layer in non-pregnant women. We will also determine whether values vary from day to day, in the same person. Normal responses from this study will be compared with data obtained in other studies (for example, studies of women who had the pregnancy complication preeclampsia, or women who have other risk factors for heart disease). This will help us to determine whether the glycocalyx contributes to the risk of preeclampsia and heart disease in women with different risk factors.
