The adaptation of the blood-brain barrier to vascular endothelial growth factor and placental growth factor during pregnancy

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and placental growth factor (PLGF) are increased in the maternal circulation during pregnancy. These factors may increase blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability, yet brain edema does not normally occur during pregnancy. We therefore hypothesized that in preg...
