Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Neuroserpin, a serine protease inhibitor, is recognized for its anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties. Given the central role of inflammation and neurological involvement in the pathophysiology of preeclampsia, this study aimed to assess maternal serum neuroserpin levels in preeclamptic pregnancies and explore their association with disease severity.
