Table 1: Comparison of sFlt1 Mouse Model with Human Preeclampsia.

Feature

Mouse Model (sFlt1 Infusion)

Human Preeclampsia [21]

Maternal Hypertension

Elevated blood pressure, dose-dependent effects [1,23]

New-onset hypertension after 20 weeks of gestation, often severe in early-onset PE

Placental Dysfunction

Impaired placental vascularization, reduced labyrinthine differentiation [5,6]

Placental insufficiency, abnormal trophoblast invasion, and defective spiral artery remodeling

Fetal Growth Restriction

Asymmetric FGR, reduced fetal weight, increased brain-to-liver weight ratio [4,6]

FGR, often asymmetric, associated with placental insufficiency

Renal Damage

Glomerular endotheliosis, proteinuria, and renal dysfunction [1,2]

Glomerular endotheliosis, proteinuria, and renal dysfunction

Long-Term Risks in the mother

Increased sensitivity to hypertensive stimuli, aortic stiffness, and atherosclerotic inflammation [24]

Increased risk of cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, and stroke

Long-Term risks in the offspring

Increased blood pressure, insulin resistance and susceptibility to weight gain [13,14]

Increased risk for hypertension, stroke, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.
