Description
Cristina Dragomir and six co-authors probe a vessel enzyme in new mothers in a 2026 study. The enzyme, eNOS, makes a gas that keeps blood vessels relaxed. Under stress it can make a harmful form of oxygen instead. Its blood levels right after birth had not been described.
The study took place at one center in Romania with 40 mother-newborn pairs. Blood was drawn on the first day after delivery. Higher enzyme levels linked to lower cholesterol in the mothers. They also linked to higher red blood cell counts. A link with age was near in size but not firm. No link showed with postnatal depression scores. The authors call the findings early hints, not proof.
