Abstract | ||
The present study aimed at examining the levels of antioxidants in pregnant women (in their 3rd trimester) in Ramadi city. It included collecting blood samples after a 12 hours fasting period from 25 pregnant women in week 36 of their pregnancy at Ramadi Hospital for Maternity and Childhood for the period extending from the 1st of December, 2010 to the 1st of May, 2011. The levels of Malondialdehyde (MDA), Glutathione (GSH), Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) and Vitamins A and C were measured.Results have shown a significant increase in the levels of Malondialdehyde (MDA) and Body mass index (BMI), which were 3.376(µmol/l)and 29.504(Kg/m2), respectively in the experiment group in comparison with the control group which were 1.795(µmol/l) and 24.68(Kg/m2), respectively. Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) show significant decrease 0.013 in the experiment group in comparison with the control group which was 0.082. Nonenzymic antioxidants namely; Glutathione and vitamins A and C, on the other hand, revealed a significant decrease, 3.616(µmol ), 0.361(mg/l) and 0.457(mg/l), respectively in the experiment group in comparison with the control group, which were 10.591(µmol), 0.668(mg/l) and 1.283(mg/l), respectively | ||
