Title: | Oxidative stress in diabetic pregnancy: SOD, CAT and GSH-Px activity and lipid peroxidation products | Authors: | Djordjevic A. Spasic S. Jovanovic-Galović A. Djordjevic R. Grubor-Lajsic G. |
Issue Date: | 1-Jan-2004 | Journal: | Journal of Maternal-Fetal and Neonatal Medicine | Abstract: | Diabetic pregnancy is often complicated by a number of pathological conditions among which is increased oxidative stress. This study was conducted to investigate the parameters of oxidative stress in 90 patients divided into the three groups: pregnant women with Type 1 diabetes mellitus, healthy pregnant women and non-pregnant women. In pregnancy groups all parameters were followed in 1st, 2nd and 3rd trimester. Diabetic control was monitored by fasting blood glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and these values, as well as measured biochemical parameters (urea, creatinine, total cholesterol and uric acid), were appropriate throughout the study. The concentration of TBARS, as a measure of lipid peroxidation, and activity of antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase (Cu, Zn-SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and catalase (CAT) were investigated in hemolysate of erythrocytes. TBARS concentration increased significantly in pregnant women when compared with control group (non-pregnant women), as well as in pregnant diabetics compared with healthy pregnant women. The SOD activity was gradually increased in the group of normal pregnant women vs. non-pregnant group, but decreased significantly in the group of diabetic pregnant women. Catalase activity was significantly increased only in 3rd trimester diabetic pregnant women. Increased lipid peroxidation and reduced antioxidant status, despite good diabetic control, show that pregnant women are exposed to oxidative stress to a greater degree than controls. | URI: | https://open.uns.ac.rs/handle/123456789/11426 | ISSN: | 14767058 | DOI: | 10.1080/14767050400018270 |
