dc.description Objective: To investigate Phosphorylated adenosine monophosphate activated protein kinase (AMPK) levels in healthy pregnant women and pregnant women with preeclampsia (PE). Methods: Twenty-eight women with mild-PE, 22 with severe-PE, and 30 normotensive controls were included in this cross-sectional study. The serum AMPK levels of these patients were analyzed. The patients were followed up to delivery. Results: No statistically significant difference was found between the groups for age, gravida, parity, and gestational age at the time the blood samples were obtained (p > .05). No significant difference between the group with mild-PE and the control group was found, while in the severe-PE group, serum AMPK levels were significantly higher relative to both the mild-PE and control groups (p < .001 and p < .001, respectively). No correlation was detected between serum AMPK levels and age, body mass index (BMI), and gestational age at the time the blood samples were collected. A negative correlation was found between AMPK levels and gestational week and birthweight at delivery, while a positive correlation was detected between systolic and diastolic blood pressures and AMPK levels. Conclusions: Serum AMPK was higher in patients with severe-PE compared with healthy pregnant women and patients with PE without severe features so it might be a new biomarker for the prediction of disease and its severity.
