| 1 | Specifically, clinical studies have shown that supplementation with calcium can significantly reduce the frequency of PIH, specially in populations with a low calcium intake. | Calcium | pregnancy-induced hypertension (pre-eclampsia, eclampsia, toxemia of pregnancy included) | Homo sapiens |
| 2 | Specifically, clinical studies have shown that supplementation with calcium can significantly reduce the frequency of PIH, specially in populations with a low calcium intake. | Calcium | pregnancy-induced hypertension (pre-eclampsia, eclampsia, toxemia of pregnancy included) | Homo sapiens |
| 3 | We have suggested that, in such a population, calcium supplementation is a safe and effective measure for reducing the frequency of PIH. | Calcium | pregnancy-induced hypertension (pre-eclampsia, eclampsia, toxemia of pregnancy included) | Homo sapiens |
| 4 | Thus, the purpose of this article is to advance a hypothesis about the mechanism by which calcium supplementation reduces the risk of PIH. | Calcium | pregnancy-induced hypertension (pre-eclampsia, eclampsia, toxemia of pregnancy included) | Homo sapiens |
| 5 | We propose that dietary calcium supplementation reduces the frequency of PIH by maintaining the serum ionized calcium level which is crucial for the production of endothelial nitric oxide, the increased generation of which maintains the vasodilatation that is characteristic of normal pregnancy. | Calcium | pregnancy-induced hypertension (pre-eclampsia, eclampsia, toxemia of pregnancy included) | Homo sapiens |
