From: Oxygen and the liberation of placental factors responsible for vascular compromise
The measurement of liberated VEGF and sVEGFR-1 from the placental explants. Free VEGF and its soluble receptor sVEGFR-1 were measured in the explant-conditioned medium by immunoassay. Free VEGF was undetectable (not shown), but sVEGFR-1 was present in explant medium under all oxygen concentrations, with no significant changes in levels as the oxygen tension altered; N=8.
