SYNTHESIS AND TURNOVER

mRNA synthesis

Vitamin D

Vitamin D induces aromatase. in turn estrogens induce heme synthesys that is required for CYPs involved in VIt D activation

aromatase vitamin d
protein synthesis

Low serum estradiol and high serum progesterone concentrations characterize hypertensive pregnancies at high altitude. 1994

  • CONCLUSIONS We speculate that reduced placental oxygen pressure (PO2) at high altitude may decrease placental aromatase activity and thereby lower estradiol and estriol concentrations.
