The Role of Oxidative Stress in Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy (Preeclampsia, Gestational Hypertension) and Metabolic Disorder of Pregnancy (Gestational Diabetes Mellitus)

<div>Schematic representation of “uncoupling” of nitric oxide (NO) synthesis, adapted from [<a href="/journals/omcl/2021/5581570/#B70">70</a>]. Suboptimal concentrations (↓) tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) are required for “uncoupling.” Superoxide anion: O; hydrogen peroxide: H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>; peroxynitrite anion: OONO<sup>−</sup>; endothelial NO synthase: eNOS.</div>
