“…Thus, clinical and experimental evidence indicates that oxidative stress is important in the aetiology of PE, PIH, and GDM. The levels of oxidative stress markers, such as oxidised lowdensity lipoprotein (LDL) and malondialdehyde, are higher (6) and those of antioxidants, such as coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), α-tocopherol, and vitamin C, are lower (1,3,7) in women experiencing PE, PIH, or GDM, compared with healthy pregnant women. Accumulation of Reactive oxygen species (ROS) in cells may cause DNA damage (8), which may lead to pregnancy-related complications.…”
