Antioxidant status and serum levels of selectins in pre-eclampsia

Abstract: A cross-sectional study was conducted in a university hospital, enrolling 40 patients with pre-eclampsia (case group) and 40 healthy normotensive pregnant women (control group). Plasma activity of antioxidants and some adhesion molecules involved in oxidative stress were measured and compared between the two groups, according to the patients' age. In patients over the age of 30 years, serum levels of L-selectin and E-selectin were lower in pre-eclamptic patients (p < 0.05); antioxidants, catalase and superoxid… Show more

“…The stronger relationship of this correlation in eclampsia that indicates further imbalance of protein oxidants and antioxidants in this group compared to the others. Though earlier studies have shown an impaired antioxidant activity in preeclampsia [32], this finding has not been uniformly reproducible [33]. Our study is the first of its kind to measure antioxidant parameters AOA and total thiols in various types of hypertensive disorders.…”

“…Previous studies have reported elevated maternal plasma sEselectin concentrations in women with pre-eclampsia, both at the time of delivery (22)(23)(24)(25)(26) and also prior to clinical diagnosis (22). However, the available data concerning both sP-and sL-selectins (22,23,26,27) are conflicting.…”

“…The observed decrease in CD62L+ neutrophils in severe PE could be caused both by a true decrease in the level of such cells and by rapid recruitment of CD62L-positive cells from blood flow. The latter assumption seems more likely, as according to some researchers, pregnant women with PE have high serum levels the soluble form of L-selectin [16,17]. The increase in the serum level of L-selectin molecules in women with PE can be due to the elution of CD62L molecules from the cell membrane after interaction with the corresponding endothelial ligand [18], caused by growing levels of inflammatory mediators [19] or by exposure to angiotensin II cells [20].…”
