Circulating biomarkers of oxidative stress in normal pregnancy and preeclampsia and efficacy of antioxidant supplementation

Abstract: Background: To detect circulating markers of oxidative stress in women with normal pregnancy, women at risk of preeclampsia and women with preeclampsia and to assess the effect of Antioxidants on the levels of markers of oxidative stress in all the groups . Methods: Quasi experimental study design, an experimental study with multiple arms conducted in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College, Sawangi (Meghe) Wardha from March 2009 to July 2012. Results: Of 872 women enrol… Show more

“…In normal pregnancy, increasing urinary protein excretion is detected due to a mixture of amplified permeability of the glomerular basement membrane and increased glomerular filtration rate. Also, in PIH highly molecular weight protein was lost due to endothelial dysfunction and vasospasm [17]. Serum albumin was slightly elevated in PIH than normal pregnant and this is in accordance with the finding of previous study done by Ephraim, et al, 2018 who recorded a high urinary protein level and decreased serum albumin concentration among preeclamptic women compared to the healthy pregnant women.…”

“…Many researchers have demonstrated increased levels of lipid peroxidation metabolites such as MDA and lipid peroxides in pregnancy, and even significantly higher levels in women with PE [26]. These products may suppress prostacyclin synthesis and stimulate smooth muscle contraction resulting in widespread vasospasm, a dominant feature of PE.…”

“…These results show that oxidative stress as coupled by alterations in the levels of MDA may be contributing factor in the pathogenesis of pregnancy induced hypertension. A significant increase in this circulating indicator of oxidative stress in pre-eclamptic mothers has been reported by Khatri et al 23 Increase in oxidative stress markers in turn have been found to damage the maternal vascular endothelium leading to the elevation in diastolic pressure which further worsened the state of hypertensive mothers. 24 A delicate balance of anti-oxidant enzymes is necessary for reducing oxidative stresses.…”
