['An animal model of hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, low platelet count (HELLP) was used to determine if T lymphocytes accompany hypertension and increased inflammatory cytokines.', 'sFlt-1 (4.7\u2009µg/kg/day) and sEndoglin (7\u2009µg/kg/day) were infused into normal pregnant rats (HELLP rats) for 8 days.', 'HELLP was associated with increased mean arterial pressure (p\u2009=\u20090.0001), hemolysis (p\u2009=\u20090.044), elevated liver enzymes (p\u2009=\u20090.027), and reduced platelets (p\u2009=\u20090.035). HELLP rats had increased plasma levels of TNFα (p\u2009=\u20090.039), IL-6 (p\u2009=\u20090.038) and IL-17 (p\u2009=\u20090.04). CD4(+) and CD8(+) T lymphocytes were increased.'] Are hypertension , inflammation and T lymphocytes increased in a rat model of HELLP syndrome?
