ABSTRACT
The taurine concentration and uptake in platelets obtained from normal pregnant women and gestosis patients with edema, proteinuria and hypertension (EPH gestosis) were investigated. The taurine concentration in platelets showed a marked increase in severe EPH gestosis compared with normal pregnancy or mild and moderate EPH gestosis, while the plasma taurine concentration did not change significantly. Taurine uptake in platelets paralleled the severity of EPH gestosis. The Vmax of the uptake in severe EPH gestosis was about 2.4 times higher than that in normal pregnancy or mild and moderate EPH gestosis, but no significant difference was seen in the Km value among these groups.
