Amniotic fluid from 19 patients with preeclampsia was compared with samples from normotensive control subjects with respect to the levels of prostaglandin 6-keto prostaglandin F1aL, thromboxane B2, and the ratio of 6-keto prostaglandin F1
to thromboxane B2. The study found no significant differences in the levels of these prostanoids or the ratio of 6-keto prostaglandin F1
to thromboxane B2 (study patients, 2.7 ± 2.1; control patients, 2.8 ± 1.9) between groups.
